Discover how high-quality artisan gelato is made through an authentic experience in a unique setting: GRETEL Factory, Italy’s first educational gelato farm. Here, gelato is “cultivated” and tells the storey of the region spanning Lazio and Campania, thanks to a transparent supply chain that begins with local ingredients and culminates in the final product created in the workshop.
During the guided tour, you will step into the heart of the production process: you will visit the artisanal laboratory and learn about the ingredients used and the main processing techniques that make the difference between an ordinary gelato and a truly well-made gelato. The experience is designed to be engaging and accessible, even for those starting from scratch: sight, smell, and taste become tools for understanding quality, balance, and authenticity.
The most enjoyable part is the hands-on experience: together with the master gelato maker, you will be able to take part in creating your own gelato, getting a first-hand look at the timeframes, methods and little secrets of the trade. The experience concludes with a guided tasting of artisanal gelato and local ingredients, allowing you to identify the flavours, textures, and characteristics of the raw materials.
This multi-sensory experience combines taste, product culture, and Italian tradition, making it ideal for gelato lovers who want to discover what “artisanal” truly means.
