Gelato ingredients usually include milk solids, sugars, and stabilizers that help create a dense, creamy structure. AussieBlends dairy gelato mixes use grass-fed cattle milk from Australia — the same grade used for infant formula. Many mixes are also gluten-free and designed to blend cleanly with added flavors, giving you control over the final taste without complicating your process.

The gelato mix is a neutral base, allowing you to add various flavorings to create your own gelato flavors. Our Dolce Delizia gelato mix is available in dairy-based, vegan, and sugar-free options. Creating your own flavors lets you stick with classics like vanilla or chocolate, or expand into fruit, nut, and specialty options, depending on your menu and customer preferences. Dolce Delizia gourmet flavor pastes are designed specifically for gelato.

Gelato typically uses less fat and less air than traditional ice cream mixes, which gives it a denser body and more intense flavor. The result is a more compact, smoother product that highlights ingredients instead of relying on volume for texture. AussieBlends gelato mix is formulated for lower overrun and slower churning, while our ice cream mix supports higher overrun for a lighter, more airy product.
