Gelato should be beautiful…

Take pride in your Gelato presentation and display. It is amazing how much better your Gelato will sell when it is presented in the authentic Italian fashion.

The addition of solids such as fruit, nuts, candies, or cookies can be added during the panning or layering of the Gelato to enhance the presentation.
