FAQ's

This is a difficult question as we have so many great flavours but certainly one of our biggest sellers would have to be our Rock Salt Caramel – everyone who tries it, raves about it!  Rainbow is also another big seller as is our Chocolate Obsession and Vanilla Bean with Seed.

Ice cream contains around 10% milk fat and the mixture is homogenised and pasteurised then during freezing, water is rapidly converted to ice and air is incorporated into the mixture, which stops it from freezing into a big block of ice, thereby producing delicious, creamy ice cream.

Gelato is traditionally a milk based product too, however, it uses around 5.5% milk fat and less air incorporations which gives it a denser texture.  Gelato is served at a slightly higher temperature than ice cream to impart a warmer mouth feel. 

Sorbet (also called water ice) has no dairy ingredients at all and is essentially a mixture of sugar and water together with some citric acid and either fruit juice or puree and sometimes colouring.  Sorbets are frozen and generally include low levels of air incorporation.

Sorbet has a higher rate of fruit puree added than Gelato does, so you could say that it is a more natural product over Traditional Gelato and this delivers a far more natural fruit flavour. 

This is a gourmet style gelato. It includes both dairy and non dairy products.  Artisan style gelato differs from standard gelato in that it is “hand made” on a small batch machine using high quality imported ingredients rather than on a continuous churn as is standard gelato and ice cream.
