When you enjoy a scoop of mango gelato at Kachelo Gelato, you’re experiencing more than just a dessert—you’re getting a glimpse of the meticulous artisanal gelato process that brings our flavors to life. In our Karachi gelato making kitchen, every step is rooted in tradition, freshness, and quality. Here’s how we transform local ingredients—like mangoes from Kachelo Fruit Farms—into creamy masterpieces.
1. Crafting the Perfect Base: Mixing & Pasteurization
Artisanal gelato starts with just a few simple, high-quality ingredients: milk, cream, sugar, and occasionally egg yolks or stabilizers. For fruit-forward flavors like mango, fresh fruit pulp or puree is blended into the mix.Once combined, the mixture undergoes pasteurization, typically heated to around 85 °C for a brief (e.g., 5-second) burst, then rapidly cooled to preserve safety and texture.
2. Maturation: Developing Texture and Flavor
After pasteurization, the base is chilled and aged—either several hours or overnight. This phase, known as maturation, helps ingredients blend evenly, stabilizes proteins, and readies the mix for a smoother texture.
3. Churning & Freezing: The Art of Density
In true artisanal fashion, our gelato is churned in batches. The process freezes the mixture quickly while stirring it gently to incorporate just the right amount of air—far less than typical ice cream—creating that signature creamy, dense texture.
4. Flavor Crafting: Mango Gelato to Fruity Sorbets
Our mango gelato shines with fresh fruit from Kachelo Fruit Farms, delivering vibrant taste and natural sweetness. For fruit gelatos, purees are blended—often strained for smoothness—before freezing.
5. Serving at the Right Temperature
We serve our gelato at a slightly warmer temperature (around –12 °C to –15 °C) compared to standard ice cream. This ensures it remains soft, flavors remain vibrant, and your palate fully appreciates the taste.
6. Freshness in Every Scoop
Artisanal gelato is best enjoyed fresh. At Kachelo, small-batch production ensures our gelato is scooped and served within days of being made—highlighting freshness and preserving quality.
