NEW AMARENA CHERRY CHEESECAKE

We hope you like our new gelato, because it nearly sent Enrico mad. A cherry cheesecake flavour. How hard can it be? Turns out, very. Our co-Founder, master gelatiere and relentless perfectionist Enrico spent hours in the kitchen, tweaking ratios of ricotta with swirls of Amarena cherry, finessing the Amaretto biscuit crumble, getting way too emotionally invested in dark chocolate cocoa nibs.

After hours and weeks and months of toil, here you have it. A gloriously creamy gelato packed with real ingredients that sent Enrico to the edge of his sanity.

If you like it, please tell everyone you know. If you don’t, please don’t tell Enrico.

We are chefs who grew up in Italy. The master gelatieri of Sicily taught us the importance of real ingredients and traditional slow churning techniques. But it was the London food scene that fine-tuned our flavours.

Hackney Gelato was served in restaurants long before it was sold in shops. Every recipe we made was a unique collaboration with a top chef. Chefs are precise and demanding. Working with them year after year honed our craft and elevated our flavours.

Our finest creations are now sold in shops and restaurants across the land. We make everything in small batches in our East London kitchen and we’ve won 82 Great Taste stars in eight years.

We were making bespoke recipes for restaurants long before we ever sold our tubs in shops. We’ve worked with the likes of Tomos Parry, Marcus Wareing, Elizabeth Haigh and Pierre Koffmann over the years.

We love working with chefs. They demand the best and do brilliant things with our gelato.

FUELLED BY CREATIVITY.

We love a challenge. Flexing our taste buds and creating truly unique flavours is what we’re best at. So, it’s hard to resist a partnership when an exceptionally unusual idea comes along.

In 2025, we took on the arguably most unexpected challenge. A gelato inspired by KFC’s iconic gravy. Available in a small batch for a limited time. Some would say you have to be mad to take up that gauntlet.

Challenge accepted.

Well, after a few days of convincing Enrico.
