High quality fresh whole milk, sugars, fresh cream, fresh egg yolks from free-range hens, locust bean flour and sea salt: these are the ingredients at the basis of the success of Gelateria De’ Coltelli, which in the figure of his master ice cream maker Gianfrancesco Cutelli reiterates the importance of the selection of raw materials . This is the secret, which is not so secret after all! After all, all the great masters in the standings have repeatedly reiterated how selection is the key to success.
Alberto Marchetti, Turin
Simple ice cream, few ingredients, but good! This is the philosophy of master ice cream maker Alberto Marchetti, who has been able to build a real brand, with several points of sale scattered in Turin and other Italian cities. The ice cream offered is always fresh, processed and creamed every day in the open laboratories. The raw materials come from all over Italy drawing from various local excellences, and it is for this reason that the special formula by Alberto Marchetti arouses real emotions with every bite .
Gelati d’Antan, Turin
The “Gelati d’Antan” ice cream parlor in Turin takes an incredible leap forward compared to the past, also thanks to its greatest workhorse, the ” raspberry and Malvasia ” flavor which has led to the victory of various prizes and awards . The secret of his taste are the well-marked raw materials and marked flavours, and obviously the categorical refusal of preservatives, triglycerides and colourings.
