How We Gelato
The Swan River Gelato Way
Fresh, local ingredients
We take our inspiration from the bespoke artisan producers of Italy, the ones that are hidden in the backstreets, away from tourist areas, whom rely on traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations.
Offering a modest selection of seasonal flavours, where taste and texture is their absolute focus, rather than dramatic decorations and presentation.
No shortcut powders
There has been a push from the industry over the last couple of decades to incorporate numerous additives, which would allow the gelato to be piled up beautifully, melt slower and increase its shelf life.
Like the small handful of back-street Italian artisans, we ignored the push and kept with our traditional techniques and recipes, for a fresher and creamier mouth feel.
Delicious. Decadent. Delight.
We challenge you to come down to Freo and taste the difference.
With our extensive catalogue of seasonal flavours, we know that we can satisfy anyone’s craving. The majority of our flavours are gluten free, we have dairy free options including sorbets and soy milk flavours.
