El Gelatè Gelateria Biologica

Alessandro Senese runs this organic craft gelateria, a stone’s throw from Avigliana railway station, producing high-quality ice cream with only the most select ingredients: hence fresh milk, seasonal fruit and produce from certified, often zero-km suppliers. No coloring agents are used, carob flour is adopted as a thickener, and whole cane sugar and rice syrup as sweeteners. To cater for the lactose intolerant and vegans, the range of flavours includes Alta Langa hazelnut, Bronte pistachio, coffee and biscuit, in addition to the classic strawberry, lemon and pineapple. The milk-based flavors feature chocolate, bacio (cacao and hazelnut), liquorice, chestnut honey, Chiomonte Ice One passito, Pancalieri mint and Val Susa lavender. Flavours vary every day and also comprise spirulina candy floss for kids, sorbets and Sicilian granitas. The organic spelt cones and tubs are edible and the cream is whipped by hand. In 2023 Alessandro opened a second shop in Moncalieri.
