Premium ice-cream and gelato manufacturer Gelista has released two new flavours in its 570ml consumer jar range, Almond Milk and Coconut with Raspberry Swirl.
The addition of the two new flavours balances and expands the existing range of six to eight flavours; from five dairy and one non-dairy option to five and three respectively.
“Our flavours are always carefully selected and developed”, said Peter Cox, Managing Director of Gelista. “We don’t follow fads or develop gimmick flavours. We research emerging trends in the premium gourmet market and develop flavour profiles that are clean, authentic and exceptional.”
Gelista is well known for taking great care in selecting the best ingredient they can identify. Their mantra is to find ingredients with “Terroir” – a sense of place and provenance that translates into a quality that is distinctive and discernible to taste.
“A lot of work goes into flavour development”, said Cox. “We track trends in London, Milan and New York as we research a development slate. This gives us insights that allow us to match flavours based on the best of what’s locally available or anticipate emerging trends putting us ahead of the game. Then we have internal taste panels evaluate a large number of new flavour formulations. It is only the very best formulations that end up with the Gelista name on them!”
This almond milk product has a sweet and subtle almond flavour that is neutral enough for it to become an accompaniment to gourmet deserts; the new non-dairy substitute for traditional vanilla bean ice-cream and gelati.
The “Coconut with Raspberry Swirl” product builds on the huge success of the plain coconut product included in the range originally launched last year.
