Family Owned

At Gelista, we began by making the Gelato that chefs wished they had time to make for themselves. We started out producing five litre tubs for fine dining and function and cafes. In 2016 our range expanded to include the 570mL jar for supermarkets. We now produce over 50 flavours, supplying restaurants, cafes, hospitals, schools and independent supermarkets across Australia.

The Gelista Team

At Gelista our business philosophy is to add value to Australian primary produce, particularly dairy. We support local quality producers wherever possible, allowing the real fruit flavours and textures to star in award-winning products designed to indulge our customers who demand the best.

Testimonials

“(Gelista) Peter’s attention to detail and the products that he sources are what makes his ice creams the quality that they are and that’s why we love using them at Lenzerheide”.

Jess Wood Former Head Chef- Lenzerheide Restaurant

“I think the characteristics of his (Gelista) ice cream/ gelati is all of a natural flavour, an honest flavour. It doesn’t taste enhanced or anything like that, it is pure fruit purees.”

“Gelista provides good quality products and after switching to Gelista products in our scooping cabinet, we get more customers coming back for gelati. I will definitely pick and recommend Gelista.
