Abstract
Taylor UK has teamed up ice cream ingredient suppliers Marcantonio and Antonelli to launch the Gelato Academy, which aims to give operators a chance to learn about the equipment and ingredients needed to make the popular Italian dessert.

Gelato shops are becoming increasingly common on Britain’s high streets. With less sugar and less fat than standard ice cream, gelato is a popular choice for consumers looking for a healthier treat.

Alongside dedicated shops many businesses are looking for ways to add gelato to their existing menus, but it can be difficult to discover exactly what equipment and techniques you need in order to create and offer it.

David Rees, marketing manager of Taylor UK, said: “Ice cream and gelato are always popular, especially in summer. The Gelato Academy combines expertise from the best in the industry to provide anyone interested in getting into the business with everything they need to know.”

At each Gelato Academy location visitors will be able to experience Frigomat’s pasteurisers and batch freezers, as well as a range of different recipes specially designed by Taylor’s in house expert gelato chef, Thomas Danks.

The six locations include Taylor’s own demonstration kitchens in Ipswich, East Kilbride and West London College, Hammersmith, along with Marcantonio’s kitchen in Barking, Caterlink’s in Bodmin, and Antonelli’s in Eccles.

The courses are free to attend. For more information about Gelato Academy and how to book your place, visit Taylor UK’s website.
