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.
We're proud to have won Gold at the Taste of the West and 2 starts at The Great Taste in 2019

Don't just take our word for it
After tasting Baboo Gelato when on holiday in Dorset I fell in love. I contacted the team as for Our Farmshop the small 125ml were the perfect fit. At that time, they weren’t producing this size but assured me that it was on the cards, as soon as they could sort out an efficient way of filling them.
True to their word they contacted me as soon as they were available. The rest is History, and I would never stock anyone else’s Gelato.
Dawn Rowland, Sheppys Cider Somerset
I can honestly say my first summer at Chesil Beach Café has been wonderful and has beennan absolute joy working with you guys. My customers love Baboo and more and more who visit, recognise your name and branding. Your delicious ice creams enhance my business and for that, I am very grateful of and your service and friendly drivers!
Sally at The Chesil Beach Café
A regular customer who now buys 3 x 500ml tubs at a time to take home for their family told us "nothing beats Baboo Gelato", and when he asked his son how the gelato in Italy compared, the son remarked "about the same".
People regularly come back and tell us how good the gelato is. The flavour we have had the most comments about has to be the Double Chocolate, with customers frequently coming back and telling us "it's the best chocolate ice cream I've had".
