AN AUTHENTIC ITALIAN GELATO COMPANY
Why does our gelato
taste so good?...
GELATO ARTIGIANALE
At Giovanni's we view gelato as a special experience, from production to delivery. Our chefs stay true to Italian tradition in their creation of authentic Gelato paying
close attention to detail.
Our gelato is passionately hand crafted daily to produce lovingly made luxurious flavours certain to excite all tastes.
Each individual unique flavour is carefully balanced through sourcing only the finest ingredients using natures own natural colours and flavours, never compromising on taste.
Both classic and contemporary flavours are included in our seasonal menus, which are ever growing!​
Qualita e Passione...
Our gelato is a superior product in comparison to ice-cream, why you may ask?
Gelato contains on average 50-60% less fat! Gelato, although much creamier and flavourful than ice-cream actually has fewer calories. Vegetable fat, which is the usual choice for ice-cream is substituted for dairy fat, which poses as a far superior fat content.
​
Most importantly, artisan gelato has a much higher density than ice cream. Ice-cream manufacturers add air to ice-cream as it nearly doubles the quantity of their product without increasing costs. Unlike ice-cream, very little air is added to our gelato resulting in a higher quality just as nature intended.
In order to enhance taste, gelato is also served slightly warmer than ice-cream, this helps bring out each individual flavour for you to savour for longer.
