Coffee Gelato 3 kg Tub — EFFEPI

Coffee Gelato 3 kg Tub by EFFEPI

EFFEPI Coffee Gelato is an Italian artisanal-style ice cream made with roasted coffee, packed in a practical 3 kg catering tub. Served at the ideal temperature of around minus 12 C, it delivers a deep espresso aroma and a smooth, creamy texture, ready to scoop for restaurants, gelato shops, bars and hotels across Switzerland. One 3 kg tub yields roughly 40 scoops of 75 g each.

What Coffee Gelato Is

Coffee gelato belongs to the great Italian cream gelato tradition, which has its roots in 16th-century Sicily and Florence and was refined into the modern dense, low-overrun product that distinguishes Italian gelato from industrial ice cream. Compared with ice cream, gelato is churned more slowly, incorporates less air and is served warmer, so the coffee flavour reads cleaner and more intense on the palate.

The Producer: EFFEPI

EFFEPI Srl is based in San Damiano d'Asti, in the province of Asti, Piedmont. The company was founded in 1992 as a specialist producer of artisanal gelato and from 2006 extended its range to pastry, becoming a reference partner for the wholesale and food-service channel in Italy and abroad. Production relies on controlled processes and quality control at every stage of the supply chain.

Sensory Profile

The colour is a warm coffee beige, the texture dense and creamy with the low overrun typical of true gelato. On the nose, roasted coffee and a light note of toasted hazelnut wood; on the palate, a rounded espresso character with a clean, slightly bitter finish balanced by the milk base. It scoops cleanly without crystals when kept in a well-tempered display cabinet.

Finish with a dusting of cocoa, chopped toasted hazelnuts or a drizzle of dark chocolate sauce.
