how it happens
Five little steps, every single day.
It starts at half past four with a crate of berries and ends when the last tray goes out. Nothing is ever carried into tomorrow.
Ingredients
Milk from one Overberg dairy, Sicilian pistachios, Madagascan vanilla. Short list, long relationships.
Fresh fruit
Berries arrive before sunrise and are tasted, sorted, and simmered the same morning.
Small batch churning
Five-kilogram batches, churned slow and cold so the texture lands dense and silky.
Handcrafted swirls
Compotes and crumbles are folded in by hand, so every ribbon stays a ribbon.
Served fresh
Into the cabinet by ten, gone by close. We would rather run out than carry over.
the pint library
Take a whole tub home with you.
Any flavour on the wall, packed into a 460 ml pint the morning it is churned and handed over in a lilac cooler bag that keeps for four hours. R145 a pint, or R890 for seven.
nice things people said
We did not pay them, we promise.
The mixed berry tastes like someone picked the fruit an hour ago. I have never had gelato this alive.
Naledi M., Cape Town regular We drove from Paarl for the strawberry cheesecake. We now drive from Paarl most Sundays.
Pieter & Elsabe V., Sunday drivers It is the prettiest shop I have ever stood in, and somehow the gelato still upstages the room.
Aisha K., First visit, not the last
Three shops, all of them painted pink.
Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Johannesburg. Open late on Fridays, open early on Sundays, and always happy to hand you a spoon.
