Professional vegan gelato: how to meet new market demands

In recent years, gelato has moved beyond being a “standard” product and has become a concrete response to increasingly specific dietary needs. Vegan customers, lactose-intolerant consumers and those simply attentive to ingredients now expect credible alternatives — not compromises.

For professionals, this means one thing: offering vegan gelato that is technically sound, stable, easy to work with and satisfying on the palate.

With ADA VEGAN 100, this goal becomes simple and fully replicable in the laboratory.

Why vegan gelato is a real opportunity for gelato shops

Vegan gelato is no longer a niche — it’s now a permanent fixture in the display case, able to:

  • expand your customer base
  • respond to ethical and functional demands
  • differentiate your offering without complicating production

the critical point, however, is always the same: structure. Without milk, cream and animal-derived ingredients, the risk is ending up with gelato that is:

  • Lacking body
  • With uneven melting
  • With poor flavour persistence on the palate

This is where the correct formulation of the base comes into play.
