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.
