What to expect

You'll start by understanding the core technique of gelato-making, then work hands-on to create one savoury flavour under guidance. After your batch sets slightly, you'll move to a seated tasting. Here, the guide walks you through pairing your gelato with bruschetta, prosciutto, mortadella, various cheeses and a glass of wine (or Coca-Cola if you prefer). Conversation focuses on why certain flavours complement one another—the salt, fat, acid and temperature interplay that makes Italian food work.
