What a milk gelato base is
A gelato base is a powdered semi-finished product that the gelato maker dissolves in milk (and, depending on the recipe, cream and sugars) to obtain a mix ready for churning. It gives the finished gelato the right structure, good creaminess and optimal display-case keeping. The Novacream line is dedicated to white flavours — fior di latte, crema and milk creams — the backbone of every gelato counter.
The MIO brand (Innovaction)
MIO is the gelato semi-finished line produced by Innovaction S.r.l., an Italian company specialised in ingredients for the sector. The Novacream range gathers the bases designed for milk and cream flavours. Its Italian origin reflects a production standard recognised in artisanal gelato making.
Features and dosage
The product comes as a powder and is formulated for an indicative dosage of 50 g per litre of mix, hence the name Base 50. The exact dosage is left to the gelato maker according to recipe, fat content and desired yield. The powder dissolves in the milk and the other liquids of the mix, which is then churned following the lab's usual process.
