Overview

Guided by a professional chef, you'll discover the secrets behind real gelato: from selecting quality ingredients to mixing, churning, and freezing. You'll explore seasonal flavors and classic pairings, using fresh fruit, chocolate, nuts, or spices to create different flavors.

This hands-on experience is perfect for both adults and families, and suitable for curious beginners as well as food lovers. You’ll work step by step through the process, learning techniques you can easily replicate at home, even without a gelato machine!
