Gelato Making

Become an honorary artisanal gelato maker, learning all the ins and outs of this perennial favorite under the guidance of an award-winning Florentine gelato maestro.

At the laboratory of a Florentine gelateria, you’ll learn all about Florence’s 500-year love affair with the frozen artisanal dessert as well as the proper techniques and ingredient combinations that go into making an authentic gelato.

After sampling freshly churned gelato, you’ll begin to create your own – cream-based or fior di latte, chocolate or nut-based (hazelnut or pistachio) and a seasonal fruit sorbet –  all from scratch and using only the highest quality of fresh and raw ingredients. 

Suitable for children and families, and for that matter, all gelato enthusiasts, this hands-on experience will leave you with a heightened appreciation for artisanal gelato, and the ability to distinguish the good from the industrial, alongside recipes on how to make Florentine gelato right at home.
