About
A passion taking shape, since 2007.
We have been nurturing our passion for artisan gelato since 2007. Glacè was born in 2019, and in 2023 Glacè Produzione came to life: a company specialising in the production and distribution of artisan gelato for third parties, in Italy and around the world.

Who we are
A passion that becomes experience. Experience that creates value.
The story of Glacè begins in 2019, but its roots go back to 2007, when the founders set out on their journey in gelato production.
This is where a passion was born that was destined to grow over time, maturing in the laboratories of several gelato shops and fuelled by experience, research and the desire to improve every day.
Hands-on practice went together with increasingly in-depth technical training at the Università dei Sapori in Perugia. A path that allowed us to study the technical, chemical and mathematical aspects of production, to understand the structure of gelato in depth and to develop a conscious approach, grounded in research and continuous experimentation.
In 2019 these experiences came together and took shape as a business: Glacè was born, with the aim of turning a genuine passion into a company able to combine quality, technical expertise and artisan care.
In 2023 the journey evolved with Glacè Produzione, the division dedicated to producing and distributing artisan gelato for third parties. A company designed to support businesses and professionals, offering a wealth of knowledge, research and expertise built over more than 15 years of experience.
Today the principles of the vision have not changed: making artisan gelato with attention, method and passion, turning the know how acquired into real value for every partner.
“Passion is our starting point. Quality, research and expertise are what we put into every project.”
