Great gelato is a craft you can learn. Through our partnership with Carpigiani Gelato University (CGU), I Love Gelato helps new and established businesses master the art and science of artisan gelato, and the business skills to make it pay.
Carpigiani Gelato University is a cultural project with a clear aim: to support gelato shops everywhere by teaching the pleasure and flavour of genuine Italian gelato. It helps entrepreneurs around the world who want to open a gelato shop, and professionals already in the industry who want to raise their standards.
CGU’s goals are to develop the art and science of gelato production, to train gelato entrepreneurs thoroughly, and to promote Italian gelato as a natural, flavourful food for every culture. I Love Gelato works in partnership with CGU to run courses for students in Australia and New Zealand.
