Gelato is an age-old delicacy that dates back thousands of years. The earliest beginnings of frozen desserts are recorded in 3000 B.C. when people discovered they could consume crushed ice and flavorings. Today, this artisan Italian gelato is a dessert well-loved by many. No, it did not make Mona Lisa smile but it brings us joy as we enjoy them in style.
Italians consider gelato part of their everyday life and it's made with natural ingredients and contains fewer calories and less fat than other frozen desserts. In Italy, eating gelato is as much about the pleasure of the company you're in and where you are as it is about enjoying its delicious taste.
So why do we love gelato so much?
Well, anything sweet brings some form of appeal and satisfaction, which was why people have something sweet when they need to lift their mood. Because it is refreshing and cool, especially when the weather is warm almost throughout the year in Singapore.
Who doesn't love gelato's creamy, soft, velvety texture? Period.
It is one great way to bring us down memory lane where eating it elicits a feeling of childhood happiness. Such multi-sensorial experience spreads across all gelato fans, regardless of age, gender, social, cultural and geographical conditions.
Meet the godfather of gelato, Marco Alfero

| Marco Alfero |
While other ice cream-makers may take the quick and easy route, which affect the taste and quality of their products, Marco is fearless and unapologetic of the time and effort required to make a single tub of gelato, from production all the way to storage.
Marco is the passionate drive of perfecting the art of Italian ice-cream making, positioning Alfero as one of the top of its class of gourmet ice-cream. The labour-intensive and time-consuming methods of pasteurisation used in his lab ensures that each scoop
of Alfero Gelato is simply mind-blowing.
Alfero's Edge
We made our gelato using only the best ingredients from Italy and all corners of the world, and each process of the gelato-making is done painstakingly without missing a step. This ensures the smooth and tasty texture of each scoop of Alfero Gelato, just the way it is meant to be as taught by the university.
The finished gelato is then stored in pozzettos which are only opened briefly upon serving, so that air and light do not affect the quality of our gelato. Making a perfect gelato is an artisanal skill which requires intense control and personal touch of its process.
Consumers these days are well-traveled and some of them might have even tried gelato in Italy, and many of whom shared with us delightfully that they are wowed by our gelato. By using only 100% natural ingredients of the highest quality, the taste speaks for itself. Also, by making it 96% FAT FREE, our customers can enjoy a guilt-free treat anytime they want!
