Gelato Suppliers
Award-winning artisan gelato and sorbettos
We are wholesale gelato suppliers offering nationwide delivery to cafes, shops, restaurants, ice cream
parlours and delis. Based in Southwest England, our gelato and sorbets are made using high-quality seasonal and natural ingredients and includes a wide range of vegan and gluten-free options.
Our award-winning gelato has been described by celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall as "one of the things that make my heart sing" and it would be fantastic to find out if you and your customers agree!
Seasonality is central to our ethos, and we regularly introduce new products and flavours throughout the year. Our head gelatiere, Annie Hanbury, loves exploring new flavours and is happiest in our lab when experimenting with new ideas. So if you are a chef looking for the perfect ice cream to pair with your latest
creation, please do contact us.

Blackcurrant ripple gelato
We make the creamy base with organic milk, and swirl this with a blackcurrant coulis (a thick sauce made of blackcurrants, sugar and water). The fruity tang from the blackcurrants are a perfect foil for the creamy base. The blackcurrants come from the beautiful Forde Abbey’s pick your own farm.
Won a Taste of the West Gold award and 1 Great Taste star in 2023
Coffee gelato
This one has taken us a while, and many apologies to all those who waited so patiently but we think we've cracked coffee gelato at last. Made with a delicious Sumatran Bourbon blend coffee from Sherborne's Read's Coffee, and organic milk. It is a strong and rich with a smooth milky coffee flavour.
This flavour won Gold at The Taste of the West and 2 stars at The Great Taste in 2021
Double chocolate gelato
We make this using organic milk and Valrhona chocolate from France to make this rich gelato. Valrhona is a premium, artisanal French chocolate maker, who has been producing since 1922 in the same village in the Rhone valley. This is THE chocolate that leading pastry chefs use. We call it double as we striate ribbons of hard chocolate through the chocolate gelato, ensuring a major chocolate experience!
We won Gold at the Taste of the West with this flavour in 2020
Hazelnut gelato
We make this with organic milk and 100% pure hazelnut paste that we buy direct from Saverio Rapalino’s farm near Genoa, Italy. The farm is in the Piedmont region, which has a DOP for hazelnuts. We have tasted at least twenty different hazelnut pastes, and we chose this one because of the depth of flavour, and the way it lingers in the mouth. We also like to know our suppliers, and buying direct from the farm ensures not only a strong relationship, but that the farmer gets the proceeds, not a chain of middlemen. The nuts are ground to a very smooth paste to order, which ensures that it is as fresh as possible when we receive it. The paste makes the whole lab smell gorgeous, and wow do they taste good.
TOTW Gold 2020 & finalist 2019, Great Taste 2 stars 2019
Madagascan vanilla gelato
We use organic milk and Madagascan vanilla pearl. Why do we mention Madagascar? Because the Madagascans are the unquestionable world experts in the tricky task of maturing vanilla. The extra time and sophistication of their curing process means we get a richer, more intense vanilla flavour. And what is vanilla pearl? It is a paste made of the vanilla seeds and vanilla pods, so that we can maximise the flavour.
We're delighted to have won a Gold Award from Taste of the West in 2019 and 2 stars from the Great Taste for this yummy vanilla gelato.
Mint choc chip gelato
An absolute favourite, this mint choc is made with organic milk, Hampshire-based Summerdown Farm's peppermint oil, and ribbons of Valrhona chocolate run through it. Sorry it’s not green but we don’t use artificial colourings (or flavourings!) – ever.
