Italian artisan gelato made in Loviisa
Italian recipes, made in Finland: every flavour comes from our production kitchen.
The “Valmistettu Suomessa · Tillverkad i Finland” label means “made in Finland” in Finnish and Swedish.
Gelato and ice cream: two different products
Italian gelato has less fat and less air than ice cream, and is served at a higher temperature.
With less air, gelato is denser.
- Fat: 4-8% in gelato, 10-18% in ice cream.
- Air: 20-30% in gelato, at least 50% in ice cream.
Italian ingredients and real fruit
For milk-based flavours we use almost entirely Italian ingredients and no ready-made bases.
Our fruit flavours contain 30% fruit or juice.
Whenever possible we choose local ingredients: the strawberries in our Mansikka flavour come from a nearby farm.
Lactose-free, vegan and gluten-free flavours
Almost all our flavours are lactose-free; some are low in lactose.
Almost all our fruit flavours are vegan.
The Il Duo range also includes gluten-free flavours.
For your venue's menu, we provide the details of each flavour.
