What a dairy-free fruit base is
A dairy-free fruit base is a powder blend designed to structure sorbets and fruit gelato made from fruit alone, with no milk, cream or milk proteins. The benefit for the gelato shop is twofold. On one hand it lets you offer products suited to a vegan or lactose-intolerant clientele, a steadily growing segment. On the other, it ensures a creamy structure, correct scoopability and good display-case stability, avoiding the crystallisation and hardening typical of sorbets made without a balanced base. It is the ideal tool to widen the range without sacrificing sensory quality.
The MIO brand (Innovaction)
MIO is the line of gelato semi-finished products made by Innovaction S.r.l., an Italian company specialised in ingredients for artisan gelato. The MIO philosophy focuses on versatile, reliable products for the professional lab: stable recipes, simple processing and repeatable results shift after shift. The Italian origin guarantees gelato tradition and quality control across the supply chain.
Features and dosage
The base comes as a fine powder to dissolve in water and fresh or frozen fruit. The product is free from milk and dairy and suits both cold processing and mixed recipes, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Powder dosage is calibrated to the fruit percentage and desired sweetness: we recommend following the MIO technical data sheet for the correct powder/water/fruit ratio. After hydration, churn to the desired structure. The 1 kg bag is convenient to dose and store, and the 20-piece carton is sized for regular lab resupply.
