Delray, Fla.–Gelato Petrini makes gelato with Florida sourced ingredients. This family run business, since 1957, makes small artisans batches of over 800 flavors of frozen goodness in three different ways. They work closely with local producers, farmers and culinary artisans. I interviewed the family at the 18th Americas Food and Beverage Show in Miami Beach Convention Center earlier this year.

They are an authentic Italian gelato manufacturing company that caters to the food industry.

“We like working with local chefs that have an idea but don’t have the time to create it,” said Kassie Lowenstein.

According to Koby Cohen, Chief Operating Officer of Gelato Petrini, they use Florida milk, Florida sugar, and Florida fruit in their frozen products that include Gelato, Gelato made with soy milk (certified organic and GMO-Free), and Sorbet (made with or without alcohol). Cohen said, “All our alcohol is kosher.”

They will be featured at the 2014-2015 growing season farm-to-table dinners at Swank Table in Loxahatchee, Fla.

You can buy their retail products at several South Florida Fresh Markets, and at some Winn Dixie stores.
