The Carpigiani Gelato University

In 2003 we established our Gelato Ice Cream University and expanded it worldwide to ensure every one of our customers has access to our ice cream masters and is able to learn the skills of making perfect gelato and ice cream for their customers.

Our Carpigiani Gelato Ice Cream University aim is teaching students from around the world how to make the perfect gelato artisan ice-cream. The definition of Artisan is “a worker in a skilled trade and one that makes things by hand”. In our world today, machines help us with this but the philosophy of gelato still remains. Artisan Gelato is healthier and lower fat than ice cream, it is made in small batches using fresh, natural ingredients and served at a warmer temperature for a more intense flavour. The Carpigiani Gelato Ice Cream University attracts thousands of people from across the world every year for those who are interested in perfecting their gelato making skills or to learn the basics of gelato. The popularity of our courses has grown tremendously since we started in 2003 and we have a comprehensive training programme, cutting edge teaching and a team of internationally recognised Gelato Masters, with over 6,000 students passing through our courses globally each year.

Our Gelato University concentrates on delivering “the art and science of gelato production, the comprehensive training of gelato entrepreneurs, and the promotion of Italian gelato as a natural and flavourful food suitable for all cultures. Our students learn from our professional and expert technicians whilst working with our state-of-the-art gelato machines and facilities. Successful graduates of our University are able to bring back all the skills they have learned to open or perfect their own Italian gelato enterprise anywhere around the world.

Our Carpigiani Gelato Ice Cream University is recognised internationally for developing successful gelato entrepreneurs around the world.
