From Italy, to the US, to Japan and Australia, England, Africa, Latin America and China: with the skilled support of distinguished Carpigiani master gelato makers, it is possible to become an authentic gelato artist anywhere.

Gelato University In The UK
The international success of the Carpigiani Gelato University has been demonstrated nowhere more so than in the UK. Following the first session held in 2003, its popularity has grown enormously, with Carpigiani UK planning 33 half day introductory courses in 2008.

“An increasingly discerning public demand quality products. The trend for all things artisan and a focus on food traceability has pushed demand for what we have to offer within the Gelato University programme”, comments Paul Ingram the Managing Director of Carpigiani UK Ltd.

“We are able to stay close to our customers, possibly from the initial inception of the idea to enter the ice cream market. We are always on hand to assist with recipe development to help our customers businesses grow. Most ice-cream makers will tell you that success depends not from having the biggest range of flavours, but from the quality of the ice cream itself. Quality is a fundamental corner stone of the principles explored within Gelato University. However, innovative recipes that create new flavours and improve on those of competitors will also benefit our customers businesses going forward over many years”.
