Premium gelato brand Gelista’s has won gold in the Best Innovative Dairy Product category at the 2014 South Australian Dairy Awards.
Gelista says it began by making the gelato that chefs wished they had time to make for themselves, and its ‘Quick Service Cube’ (pictured) won the innovation award.
The company, which was established in 2009, and makes artisan style, handmade gelato produced in small batches, using batch freezing technology.
It won a further three gold medals, and five silver medals at the awards which were held recently in Adelaide.
Gelista's ‘French Vanilla Bean’ won a gold medal in the category ‘ice cream with less than 14% fat’, and its ‘Mint Chip Gelati’ received a gold in the category, ‘ice cream other than vanilla, containing less than 14% butterfat’.
Silver medals were received for its ‘Irish Cream with Chocolate Scorched Almonds’, ‘Vanilla Bean Gelati’, ‘Chocolate Gelati’, ‘Mango Frozen Yoghurt’ and ‘Raspberry Frozen Yoghurt’.
