About the gelateria
Who makes the gelato, how a tub goes from milk to the vitrine, and what our customers say.
A small kitchen behind the counter
We opened with one batch freezer, eight tubs and a recipe book from a summer spent in a gelateria. The freezer is bigger now and the vitrine holds twelve, but every flavour is still made here, in the morning, a few litres at a time.
- Made every morning in small batches
- Fruit sorbetti made without milk or eggs
- A tasting spoon for any flavour, before you choose
- Seasonal flavours from the fruit that is good this week

How a tub is made
Everything in the vitrine comes from our own kitchen, made the same morning in batches of a few litres. That is why the flavours change, and why some run out before closing.
1
Milk and fruit
Fresh whole milk and cream for the creamy flavours. Sorbetti start with ripe fruit, sugar and water instead.
2
The base
We warm the milk, stir in the sugar and the flavour itself, from pistachio paste to lemon zest, then let it cool for a few hours.
3
The churn
A batch freezer churns each base slowly for about ten minutes. Less air goes in than with ice cream, so gelato is dense and silky.
4
The vitrine
Straight into a steel tub and into the counter, kept a few degrees warmer than ice cream so every scoop is soft.

What customers say
“We came for one scoop after dinner and ended up trying four flavours on the little spoons first. The pistachio tastes of actual pistachios.”
