How to host a Gelato tasting party

Gelato is a great addition to a party as it is different from your usual ice cream, custard or frozen dessert. Since gelato is packed with flavor pair it with fresh fruit, wine, and coffee. Here are a few tips on how to host a gelato tasting party.

Create a functional tablescape for your party – You can do this by draping your table with a bright tablecloth, add white paper cups to serve your gelato and napkins to match. You could also include small dessert dishes and tiny spoons so that guests can taste all the flavors.

Keep your dessert cold – Do this by investing in a few pan lids and liners. This way you can stock many flavors in your freezer without running out of space. You will also have to have a cooler on hand to keep your gelato cold, once you are serving your guests.

Flavors – Choose flavors that are different, for example, consider flavors like lime, pistachio, dark chocolate and coffee. You can include a bowl of cut fresh fruit and nuts, for additional flavor and texture.

Beverages – Serve a selection of wines that will pair well with your gelato flavors. For example, a sweet rose will pair well with a citrus flavored gelato. Fresh coffees can be a welcome addition because they provide contrast with the cold gelato. Serve small shots of espresso, and pair it with dark chocolate or nut flavored gelato.

Great Ice Cream Gifts to Give Friends This Summer

Summer is officially upon us, and there’s no better time to break out the gelato cups and spoons. If you’re ice cream obsessed, then you love the many ways there are to serve the tasty treat. If you’re looking for gifts to give friends this summer, share your love of ice cream with something delicious everyone can enjoy. Here are some of the most popular frozen gifts that anyone will love.
Ice Cream Shipped to You
What better way to share a love of ice cream than hand choosing some flavors to send to friends and family. A variety of services online have sprung up with multiple ways to ship ice cream to someone. Frozen goods will need to be sent within 48 hours to be enjoyed in time, and there is usually an additional cost for shipping. That’s because these companies need to package the ice cream with some kind of insulation to keep it fresh on arrival.
It almost never arrives melted, but it might not arrive ready to eat either depending on the heat. Sometimes, on particularly hot days, it’s worth it to pay for overnight shipping. Look for packs of different flavors to save money on handmade ice cream, and send the frozen yogurt spoons separately.
Custom-Printed Cups and Spoons
Ordering custom-printed cups isn’t as expensive as you might think. The print can be applied directly to plastic, so the cups will last a long time if they aren’t used in the dishwasher. You can print cups with the name of each person on them, or some kind of cute memory of years gone by.
You can also order gelato cups and spoons in a variety of patterns and designs. You’ll quickly find ice cream cone shapes, cute ice cream themed bowls and even interesting spoons that combine a straw for when the ice cream begins to melt.
DIY Ice Cream
If you don’t want to spend the money on shipping frozen ice cream, then the do-it-yourself alternative will suffice. Kits are available online for a very modest amount of money. The kits usually contain instructions and equipment, the actual ingredients come from the local super market. The process is relatively simple, depending on the device you’re using. If you’re really passionate about ice cream, a hand crank is one of the most effective ice cream makers you can get. It’s all manual, run on elbow grease, but it offers a taste and consistency that is hard to match.

Basic gelato supplies

Written by Gelato Products

There are many occupations in life that allow you to share in the fun and enjoyment of other people. Opening your own gelato shop is one of them. There are a lot of things to consider when opening a gelato shop, and getting the right gelato supplies is one of them. Let’s take a look at the sort of supplies you will need for daily operations:

Gelato maker – The first and most important piece of equipment is the gelato maker. You will need to work out the exact menu of flavors and then order the number of machines you will need. There are a lot of different machines out there so do some research for models that fit your needs.

Ingredients – This is the next most important. As with cooking the better the ingredients, the better the gelato. You will need fresh fruit or any others additions you need for the various flavors and toppings you plan to sell.

Containers – You will need containers for both storage and display. Make sure to get any other associated items like pan liner lids etc.

Serving containers – The final daily item you will need are the final storage containers. These disposable containers are what you hand over to customers. You will only need these if you operate a take away only outfit. Any in store operation will also need reusable bowls to service sit-in customers. All of these items can be customized with your logo and branding but early on plain colors work fine.
