House Flavours
Our default package inculudes 6 flavours from the following house flavours.
If you would like to swap any house flavours for the list of wider flavours that we have below, we can get those in stock for you, at a charge of £35 per flavour (minimum tub size is 5L, with c. 40-50 scoops).
Cherry gelato
Flecked with real cherry pieces and a swirl of cherry compote, it finishes with a gentle almond-like note, giving it that classic, elegant depth. Cool, vibrant, and irresistibly summery.
Bueno gelato
Bueno gelato (inspired by the Kinder Bueno bar) is rich, indulgent, and dangerously smooth. It’s built on a creamy milk-and-hazelnut base, with a deep roasted nuttiness that feels warm and comforting.
Vanilla pod gelato
Vanilla pod gelato is quietly luxurious and beautifully pure. Made with real vanilla beans, it’s ivory-cream in color and dotted with tiny black specks that signal depth rather than simplicity.
Pistachio verde gelato
Its texture is dense and velvety, almost buttery as it melts, with a lingering finish that’s warm, slightly salty, and intensely satisfying. Elegant and grown-up, pistachio verde gelato is all about purity and depth and refined indulgence.
Chunky chocolate gelato
silky gelato first, then bursts of solid chocolate that deepen the flavor and keep things exciting. It’s decadent, comforting, and made for serious chocolate lovers—classic, satisfying, and never boring
Mint choclate chip gelato
Scattered throughout are fine shards or chips of dark chocolate, adding gentle bitterness and a satisfying snap against the silky gelato. As it melts, the contrast between cool mint and rich chocolate lingers beautifully.
Strawberry cream gelato
Soft, fruity, and irresistibly comforting. It blends ripe, sun-sweet strawberries with fresh cream to create a flavour that’s gently sweet with a touch of natural tartness. The strawberry taste is bright —like fresh berries rather than candy—rounded out by smooth, milky richness.
Salted caramel popcorn gelato
.Playful, rich, and wildly addictive. The base is a smooth, buttery caramel gelato—deeply sweet with a toasted sugar warmth—lifted by a subtle hit of sea salt. Folded through are crunchy pieces of caramel-coated popcorn, adding pops of texture
Raspberry ripple gelato
It starts with a smooth, milky vanilla gelato base—softly sweet and velvety—shot through with vivid ribbons of raspberry sauce. The raspberry brings a sharp, juicy tang that cuts cleanly through the creaminess, keeping each bite fresh and lively.
Passion fruit sorbetto
vibrant, zesty, and explosively refreshing. Made without dairy, it showcases the bold, tropical intensity of ripe passion fruit—brightly tangy, citrusy, and lightly floral with a mouth-watering sharpness.
Mango sorbetto
Smooth, sunny, and bursting with tropical sweetness. Made without dairy, it highlights the lush, juicy flavour of ripe mangoes—naturally sweet with gentle floral and honeyed notes. The taste is round, mellow, and full-bodied.
Over 100 delicious flavours available as custom options (£35 each 5L tub)
Interested to find out more about the differences between gelato and ice cream?
It’s pretty interesting, and we have written all about it on our blog here.
Gelato flavours
We can make any of these gelato flavours dairy free with our Soya and oat blends, or coconut blends. Just add £35 per flavour. Alternatively, we have our dairy free sorbet options also listed here.
Sorbet (dairy free)
Seasonal / custom flavours
Any vegan gelato lines ordered are an additional £5 on top of the package price as alternative milk costs more than ordinary cow’s milk.
Pretty much all our gelato is egg free apart from Biscotti and Tiramisu.
