We all know what a personal oasis of freshness a gelato can be; what moments of joyous intimacy can be enjoyed in its company!
Perhaps not everyone knows that the tradition of homemade gelato has noble, long and Italian origins and that its first “ambassadress”, who introduced it to the refined palates of Europe, is no less figure than Catherine de Medici when she moved to the French court around the middle of the 16th century.
Sergio, guardian of the tradition
The guardians of such a tradition - perpetuated nowadays, too - are, with Sergio Dondoli, the Master Gelato Makers (today, in Italy, there are no more than ten) and their schools, a real training for creativity and homey passion for a delicious food. Naturally, market expansion and technological systems for mass production have also subjected gelato to the homologating industrialisation process.
This notwithstanding, homemade gelato has held out, and its growing success still testifies to the quality of its ingredients and the choices of those who create it.
The quality
Produced daily with very fresh, rigorously selected ingredients, always genuine as it contains no preservatives. A really original piece of work, extraneous to the levelling of trained palates, to the point that it is not sufficient to describe homemade gelato as fresh, wholesome and tasty.
The unique Sergio's Gelato
But, to say it all, the eating habits of tasteful people find in the exquisite uniqueness of Sergio Dondoli’s gelato - in the high biological value of the vitamins, proteins, fibre and mineral salts contained in homemade gelato - mostly a precious complicity with respect to one of the most luscious and permitted sins of gluttony!
