When it comes to making Beau’s, we have three important policies that guide every tub of gelato we make.
Less air
Every ice cream contains a certain amount of air which affects the smoothness, consistency and taste of the ice cream. The less air in an ice cream, the tastier the end result. And we’re all for that.
Less air also means more density – more of the lip-smackingly good stuff – and there’s less opportunity for ice crystals to form so it’s more scoopable and a much better quality for you, our lovely ice cream eaters.
A standard ice cream will likely have an overrun of 100%, a premium ice cream will have an overrun of around 50% and a Beau’s gelato has between 15 - 20%.
no pre-fabricated mixes
With quality and simplicity at the heart of our mission, we don’t use any pre-fabricated mixes. Our ice creams contain no artificial flavouring, colouring or GMOs.
Each gelato base is made from no more than four ingredients – cashews, water, unrefined cane sugar and salt. To this we add nothing but natural whole foods.
Veganism and sustainability
As vegans, the scarcity of quality plant-based ice cream has bugged us for years – and was the catalyst for our journey into professional ice cream making.
We wanted to contribute in our own way to making the world a little better and a little tastier. Because of this, treading lightly on the earth is important to us as individuals and as a company.
