Byron Bay Food

Feeling a  little steamy lately?   Mmm Hmm ... know exactly where you're coming from!

We've just found the most heavenly way to reduce your body temperature this summer

and lift your mood to new heights ...via abit of tastebud titilation!

Probably sounds naughty, but let me assure you it's nothing but good, better, best!

Meet Valentino and Carly Giannoni, the people who pour the Love, Passion and Tradition

into their prize-winning business Gelati Vernazza.  Byron Bay Food visited Gelati Vernazza's

Bangalow factory where Valentino's range of Gelati makes you instantly transform into the proverbial

'kid in the candy shop'!

Their story starts in the beautiful village of Vernazza, which sits above the cliff tops of the

spectacular Cinque Terra region of Italy, where as a boy, Valentino was taught the art of

making the perfect Gelati by his father, Guiseppe.  As if that doesn't sound romantic enough,

the Gelati shop was also the setting for Valentino to meet his beloved wife, Carly. The couple and

their two children have recently moved to Bangalow, expanding Gelati Vernazza as a

predominantly wholesaling business with distributors throughout the Northern New South Wales

and South East Queensland.

Valentino and Carly have been busy sourcing

seasonal local produce from the Byron Bay

area to include in their delicious Gelati recipes.

They use Organic Milk and Organic Raw

Sugar in the dairy based Gelati, and recently won

the Champion Rosette at the Bangalow

Show for the best Homemade Dairy Product!

You may want to know that was for the Coffee with

Caramel & Crushed Macadamia

Gelati ... oh yum!  Their notoriety has been soaring

since winning a Gold Medal at the

Royal Melbourne Show in Fine Food Products

for their 'White Passion' Gelati, a

dreamy combination of Yoghurt, fresh passionfruit

and white chocolate chunks in organic

milk and cream!

They were also awarded a Silver Medal for

'Lovers in Havana' Gelati , the  innovative

combination of Havana Rum infused with Cuban tobacco

and Cinnamon!  When you talk with Valentino

about combining such intriguing flavours, you realise that you are talking to a real

Gelati Artisan! His passion for his work is so evident!

Gelati Vernazza can produce Gelati for individuals, businesses and restaurants

wanting to create a unique flavour with their own branding and design on  the

packaging.  Perfect for Weddings, Events or  setting your Restaurant apart from

the rest!   Containers come in 200ml, 500ml, 1 litre packaged tubs or 5 litre trays.

If you're thinking of something completely unique to serve this Christmas, visit the
