Gelato Village began in 2014. It was founded by Antonio De Vecchi and Daniele Taverna. Originally from Turin, Antonio and Daniele care deeply about crafting the real Italian gelato Leicester previously lacked.

Antonio was trained at the Carpigiani Gelato University in Italy. He uses the traditional ‘Mantecazione’ method to create fine gelato at the in-store Gelato Laboratory. He develops every recipe himself and loves to experiment with new flavours and combinations. Antonio trials new products throughout the year, so you will always find something new to try.

Antonio and Daniele insist on using the highest quality materials to create authentic gelato. They never use artificial preservatives, flavourings or emulsifiers. This means the gelato is a natural product. Gelato uses more milk than cream, so it is lower in fat than ice cream. There is an average of only 170 calories per 100g of gelato and 110 in sorbetto.
