Why here
Most courses teach gelato in a classroom with one demonstration machine. You will learn it in the room that supplies nine Berlin gelaterias.

Inside the facility
Not a classroom with a demonstration machine in the corner. A production floor that has to deliver gelato to nine shops the same week you are standing in it.
The ingredients
Piedmont and Turkish hazelnuts, pistachio, amarene cherries, seasonal fruit. No premixes.
Ten at a time
A hard cap. Nobody watches from the back of the room while someone else works.

Open consultation with the team behind nine shops, for as long as you are here.
