Gelato classes

Our gelato master fully WWCC certified, goes where the people are: into a classroom, into a birthday party, or in front of your guests at a corporate event — making one gourmet flavour live, from raw ingredients.

Why much more than simple ice cream?

My idea of gourmet gelato

It takes time and patience to obtain the perfect flavour: selecting the ingredients one by one and balancing in the right way to obtain a specific result, requires attention, experience and skills that we optimise every day through a unique production cycle. The result is a distinctive unique flavour that's th way we can guarantee for you a gourmet gelato experience like no other.

Our flavours

Australian fruit from the states that grow it best — mango from Queensland, strawberries from Victoria — and milk from Gippsland. The list changes with the season; the method does not.

Coming soon Espresso poured over cold gelato

Affogato

A shot of hot espresso poured over cold gelato, the way it is drunk in Italy. It works in July as well as it works in January — which is exactly why we bring it.
