In the world of artisanal gelato, offering fresh and original flavors is a way to attract customers and keep them coming back, intrigued by new options. An excellent way to achieve authentic-tasting gelato is by leveraging the seasonality of ingredients.
Choosing seasonal raw materials and pastes means using fruits and flavors when they are at their peak in freshness and intensity. This approach not only enhances the quality of the gelato but also demonstrates a commitment to sustainability. In this article, we’ll explore how to use Gelnat gelato pastes and variegates to create unique flavors all year long.
The importance of seasonality in artisanal gelato
Following the rhythm of the seasons allows you to offer customers a product that is always unique and genuine, highlighting the sensory characteristics of fresh ingredients. Seasonality is not just about taste; it’s also about variety and creativity, allowing you to offer flavors that change with the months.
Why choose seasonal ingredients:
More intense and natural taste: seasonal ingredients have a more defined and complex flavor.
Added value: customers appreciate options that adapt to natural rhythms.
Sustainability: using fresh ingredients reduces environmental impact and supports the local agricultural supply chain.
Practical example: using Strawberry Paste in spring enhances the freshness and liveliness of the fruit, while in autumn, a combination of Red Fig Paste and Variegated Cocoa Shortbread creates a rich and enveloping flavor, perfect for colder days.
