In recent years, consumers have become increasingly aware. They are no longer looking for flavour alone, but for nutritional control, reduced sugar content and more balanced alternatives — without giving up the gelato experience.
For professionals, however, creating gelato with no added sugars presents a significant technical challenge:
sugar is not just about sweetness, but also structure, body, anti-freezing properties and stability.
It is precisely from this need that CALO KIT was developed — a complete system designed for those who want to offer gelato:
- no added sugars
- Low-calorie
- Low glycaemic index
- Technically correct and well balanced
Why no added sugar gelato is a real opportunity today
No added sugar gelato is not a passing trend.
It is a concrete response to:
- Health-conscious customers
- customers monitoring glycemic index
- people reducing sugar intake
- gelaterias expanding their offer
Those who succeed in offering a well-made no added sugar gelato immediately stand out.
But doing so without the right base means taking a risk:
- Hard gelato that is difficult to churn
- Sweetness imbalances
- Poor flavour perception
CALO KIT was created to avoid all this.

CALO KIT is a modular system designed to help professionals create no added sugar gelato using specific bases, fibers, and sweeteners, while maintaining full recipe control.
The result is a gelato that is:
