Ingredients
Zelati Gelato and Sorbet is batch-made and hand-packed from start to finish using only real, premium ingredients to make an all-round delicious product! Everything is made at the Tawa Zelati Freezeria, a purpose-built gelato and sorbet lab.
Careful thought is put into the creation of each flavour. We pasteurise, age, infuse and churn each delightful flavour for our customers.
Our gelato is made with fresh New Zealand milk and cream, and the dairy-free sorbet is 100% plant-based, made with real fruits as opposed to pre-mixes and gelato pastes.

It’s a family thing.
Est. 2009
Zelati is proud to be a family-run business.
The journey started as a fun project, taking food-trips attending chocolatier courses. Alberto’s travels eventually took him to Italy, where he trained as a Maestro Gelatiere and learnt the art of gelato-making from the best.
Taking his knowledge back home, the initial testing and production runs took place in the family’s garage which had been converted into a commercial space. Many late nights were spent brainstorming, developing and perfecting the recipes (with the family as very willing taste-testers).
The youngest member of the family also grew up with food allergies, so it was important to create a range of products that could be enjoyed by everyone.
