What if a gelato could whisper secrets in the middle of a suspense story?

In this new chapter of our Gelato in Cinema series, we step into the refined atmosphere of Charade (1963), where Paris becomes a playground of mystery, romance, and sharp wit.

Between stolen glances, mistaken identities, and clever dialogue, gelato appears as a quiet yet powerful symbol: a moment of sweetness suspended in a world full of questions.
A pause. A pleasure. A detail that humanizes even the most elegant intrigue.

🎬 In Charade, gelato isn’t just a treat — it’s a cinematic breath, reminding us that even in stories built on tension, there’s always room for lightness, charm, and simple joy.

🎨 When cinema meets gelato, every scoop becomes part of the plot.

Have you ever tasted a gelato inspired by ancient sea routes and forgotten spices?

Today we dive into Caravel’s Story, a flavour born from the Mediterranean spice trade: creamy gelato enriched with orange caviar, fresh local milk, Aigio olive oil, golden honey, and the warm, aromatic notes of Tentoura liqueur.

A journey of contrasts, the delicate sweetness of milk and honey, the citrus burst of orange pearls, the silky depth of olive oil, and the spiced soul of Tentoura, once carried aboard 17th-century caravels.

A flavour that tells stories of distant ports, sunlit decks, and slow voyages across the sea.
One spoonful, a voyage through time. 🍊🍨✨

👉 Stay tuned, the next flavour is setting sail soon.

Do you think the secret to gelato is the recipe? In reality, it all starts with a machine few people truly know.

The batch freezer is the beating heart of every gelateria: a technology born in the late 19th century and refined over time without ever abandoning its original principle. Inside it, a cooled cylinder receives the liquid mixture, while a constantly moving blade scrapes the walls, prevents ice crystals from forming, and incorporates air evenly.
It’s this combination of controlled cooling and continuous movement that transforms simple ingredients into creamy, structured, velvety gelato, the hallmark of true artisanal craftsmanship. Modern batch freezers consume less energy, offer more efficient production, and ensure perfect consistency… yet the core of the process remains the same as it was over a century ago.

What if a falling gelato could teach us something about life?

In this new chapter of our Art series, we land on the sunny beaches of Hawaii from the film Lilo & Stitch, where gelato becomes an unexpectedly iconic detail in a story about family, humour, and imperfect moments.
Here, simplicity meets emotion: even a mint scoop can turn into a small cinematic symbol.

🎬 In this scene, the oversized mint gelato that keeps slipping from the man’s cone has become a beloved inside joke among Disney fans. It reminds us that life’s sweetest moments are often imperfect, and that sometimes, the funniest memories come from things that refuse to go as planned.

🎨 When storytelling meets sweetness, even a melting scoop finds its meaning.

Ever wondered what it really takes to become a gelatiere?

Specialized training centers teach aspiring gelatieri everything from ingredient selection to balancing recipes, batch freezing techniques, hygiene standards, and the true principles behind high-quality artisan gelato.

Have you ever tasted a gelato capable of telling the story of an entire region?

Today we stop in Reus to discover the Catalanet Ganxet, inspired by the traditional “catalanet” dessert: turrón ice cream, ratafia, and carquinyoli.

Our version celebrates this culinary heritage with turrón made from D.O. Reus hazelnuts and Marcona almonds from Xixona, wrapped in a smooth vermut sauce and enriched with the crunch of carquinyolis.

A journey of flavours that spans Catalonia and Valencia, yet finds its most authentic soul right in Reus.
A taste that embodies territory, tradition, and pure emotion. 🍨✨
