Gelato Ingredients
Italian ingredients for gelato, soft serve and frozen yoghurt. Everything that goes into the machine and onto the cup, from the base that sets the texture to the sauce that finishes the serve.
What we stock. Gelato bases for milk and water recipes, classic and fruit flavouring pastes, variegato ripple sauces, cremino spreadable creams, nuts and crumbles, topping sauces, soft serve and frozen yoghurt mixes, slushie mixes and açaí.
Dietary range. Gluten free, lactose free, vegan, high protein, no added sugar, Halal and Kosher products run right through the range. Each product page lists the dosage, pack size and what that product is suitable for.
Supply you can plan around. Stocked in New Zealand with ongoing supply and standing orders, rather than importing a container at a time. Call 0508 625 677 for samples, or start with gelato bases, classic pastes or soft serve mixes.

How to choose the right ingredients
Pick your method
Build from a base plus a flavour paste for full control, or use a ready mix for speed and consistency across staff and sites.
Match your machine
Batch freezers suit bases and pastes; soft serve and frozen yoghurt machines run best on complete liquid-ready mixes.
Read the dosage
Each product lists its dosage in grams per litre and whether it is mixed with milk or water, so you can cost every litre.
Plan your menu
Balance best-sellers like vanilla, chocolate and pistachio with seasonal fruit, vegan and no-sugar-added flavours.
Finish it
Add ripple sauces, toppings and crumbles to lift the display and the price of every cup.

Which ingredient brand do you supply? +
We supply the Rubicone range, made by Prodotti Rubicone in Cesena, Italy. See the Rubicone page for the full range by category.
Should I use a base and paste or a ready mix? +
A base plus paste gives you the most control over sweetness, texture and flavour, and suits gelato shops with a batch freezer. Ready mixes are complete powders that need only water or milk, which keeps quality consistent with less prep and less training.
What does the dosage on each product mean? +
Dosage is the amount of product to use per litre (or per kilogram) of mix. A paste at 80 g per litre is a flavouring; a complete base at 400–580 g per litre makes up most of the mix.
Do you have vegan, no-sugar-added and sugar-free options? +
Yes. See vegan bases, no-sugar-added mixes and sugar-free mixes. Check each product page for its dietary details.
Can you help us build a menu? +
Yes. Talk to our team in Auckland or Christchurch, or book Carpigiani Gelato University training to learn recipe balancing hands-on.
