Our philosophy is to craft gelato that is rich, genuine and natural following the most rigorous artisanal standards and above all, prepared with the best raw ingredients available. Our gelato is freshly whipped daily in our on-site kitchen.
Our gelato is prepared with fresh, high quality milk and cream from selected stalls in the Roman countryside, produced in limited quantities according to strict qualitative standards.
We do all this in order to offer you a unique and distinguished product that represents high-quality ingredients, originality and traditional preparation.
In the historical tradition for artisinal gelato, the pozzetto style counter (deep, covered wells) remains the best way to conserve high quality gelato before it is enjoyed; for this we choose to keep the gelato covered, because in our opinion gelato should be tasted before admired. It isn’t so much the aesthetic of our gelato that we offer but rather the highest quality in flavor and ingredients.
Our cream is whipped fresh daily directly at the counter, right before your eyes… just like they used to do

Flavor Essences
For complex gelato flavors we use natural flavor essences:
• Natural vanilla beans from Tahiti with warm, delicate, and slightly fruity notes.
• Honey from lavender nectar (with limited production) from strictly producers in the Roman countryside.
• Cinnamon from Madagascar with its distinctive taste and aroma that’s sweet and delicate.

Cocao
Our chocolate gelato flavors are made with raw CRU cacao from cacao “ARRIBA” in Equador and precious aromatic cacao, cultivated in Central America. Our chocolate flavors are strongly aromatic as a result of the high quality raw cacao, giving our gelato intense and profound chocolate decadence.

Ricotta
We use exclusively fresh Ricotta Romana DOP that is produced from full sheep’s milk raised on the vast natural pastures in the Lazio Region. The sweet flavor is a distinguishable characteristic of Roman ricotta.
