What are gourmet ice cream flavors?+
Gourmet ice cream flavors are premium pastes and fruit purees made with real, high-grade ingredients. Dolce Delizia uses Italian-recipe bases that deliver authentic taste, rich color, and creamy results across gelato, hard ice cream, soft serve, frozen yogurt, rolled ice cream, and more. Customers paying for a premium scoop notice the depth of real ingredients versus flat artificial flavors — and they keep coming back.
How are gourmet ice cream flavors different from regular flavors?+
Regular ice cream flavors rely on artificial compounds. Gourmet ice cream flavors use real nuts, fruit, chocolate, and vanilla to build flavor properly. That difference shows in the taste and carries through every scoop — from the first portion to the last in the batch.
What ingredients are used in Dolce Delizia gourmet flavors?+
Ingredients vary by flavor. Vanilla bean uses real vanilla, hazelnut and pistachio carry 100% real nuts, and fruit flavors use real fruit purees. Everything mixes cleanly into cream or milk bases without fillers, so the flavor stays true all the way through the finished scoop.
What is the difference between Dolce Delizia gourmet flavors and concentrated flavorings?+
Dolce Delizia gourmet pastes and fruit purees are Italian-recipe flavors made with high natural ingredient content — real pistachios, hazelnuts, and fruit. They incorporate directly into the mix base for a richer, denser flavor and work across every frozen-dessert technology. X-Flavors concentrated flavorings are dosed by the whole bag or batch for soft serve, frozen yogurt, hard ice cream, and gelato — but never for rolled ice cream or liquid nitrogen. Both are fully compatible with AussieBlends mix bases.
Which Dolce Delizia flavors are vegan?+
14 of the 18 Dolce Delizia flavors are vegan: Very Amaretto, Creamy Banana Puree, Tropical Coconut, Green Mint, Indulgent Pure Hazelnut 100%, Mix Berries, Creamy Pure Peanut 100%, Tropical Pineapple, Pistachio Paste 100%, Pistachio-Almond, Luscious Rocher, Strawberry, Decadent Vanilla Bean Paste, and Natural Pure Almond 100%. The other 4 are not vegan but are vegetarian-suitable: Gianduia Bianca (contains milk), Italian Tiramisu (contains egg and milk), and Red Raspberry and Wild Blueberry (contain natural cochineal color).
What is the standard dosage for Dolce Delizia gourmet flavors?+
The standard dosage is 80 to 100 g per kg of mix for most flavors. Five flavors use a reduced dosage: Green Mint (40 to 50 g/kg), Creamy Pure Peanut (25 to 35 g/kg), Natural Pure Almond (25 to 35 g/kg), Decadent Vanilla Bean Paste (25 to 35 g/kg), and Italian Tiramisu (50 g/kg). Follow the reduced dosage for these flavors to avoid overpowering the base mix.
What frozen-dessert technologies are Dolce Delizia gourmet flavors compatible with?+
All 18 Dolce Delizia flavors work across every AussieBlends frozen-dessert technology: gelato, hard ice cream, soft serve, frozen yogurt, rolled ice cream, liquid nitrogen, and Frosty Whip — plus frappes and frozen beverages. In gelato, hard ice cream, soft serve, frozen yogurt, and Frosty Whip the flavor is pre-blended into the base before freezing; in rolled ice cream, liquid nitrogen, and frappes it is added per portion at service time.
Can I use Dolce Delizia gourmet flavors with soft serve machines?+
Yes. All 18 Dolce Delizia flavors work with soft serve machines. Pre-blend the flavor into the prepared base before freezing — 80 to 100 g per 1,000 g of finished mix for most flavors, and less for the reduced-dosage flavors. Note that 4 flavors — Gianduia Bianca, Italian Tiramisu, Red Raspberry, and Wild Blueberry — contain animal-derived ingredients and must not be used with vegan bases.
What pack sizes are available for Dolce Delizia gourmet flavors?+
Dolce Delizia flavors come in two sizes: a 500 g pint to trial a flavor before committing, and a professional bucket for commercial operations — 4 kg for nut pastes and 5 kg for all other flavors. Both sizes are available for all 18 flavors.
