Why scream for gelato instead of ice cream? At Delicioso, you can find the reason. With a wide selection of dairy and non-dairy (sorbet) flavors, this gelato is freshly made every day using natural ingredients.
Gelato lovers can choose from over 50 flavors, from long-time favorites like chocolate, vanilla, tiramisu and stracciatella (chocolate chips), to a variety of unusual flavors like lavender, mint, cinnamon, tamarind, salted caramel and roasted almond.
While the dairy gelato comes in various creamy flavors, like green tea, panna cotta, bon bon ferero rocher and rum raisin, the sorbet is available in more than 20 fruity flavors, including unique ones like dragon fruit, lemon and passionfruit.
Specializing in gelato, Delicioso started about six years ago. 'At that time, there was only one genuine gelato producer in Bali,' said Lingga, Delicioso's operation manager.
Seizing the business opportunity, the owner attended a series of training courses at a culinary school in Italy to learn how to create genuine Italian-style gelato, as well as learning from an Italian gelato master in Singapore.
Understanding the chemistry between the ingredients and how those elements work during the process, Delicioso creates gelato in a truly artisanal style.
Sourcing the necessary equipment for production, storage and transportation was the next step before Delicioso was born, with its first place of business and production in Seminyak.
In the following years, with the trend for gelato on the rise, shops selling this Italian dessert have been popping up everywhere and dining outlets have been quick to jump on the bandwagon.
Being one of the pioneers, Delicioso has grown rapidly and now also supplies gelato to businesses all over the island, including cafés, restaurants, villas, hotels and entertainment venues, as well as creating signature flavors for certain businesses.
For private functions, like weddings, birthdays, bazaars, business lunches and parties, Delicioso has a mobile gelato cart equipped with a showcase freezer so clients can choose six to eight flavors for their event, or even ask for customized flavors.
This mouthwatering gelato is served at Delicioso's flagship bistro and restaurant in Kerobokan, as well as at four other locations: Lippo Plaza Sunset Road, Waterbom Bali, Café Seminyak and Bali Zoo.
