“Under Vincenzo’s mentorship we were able to completely transform our business. After our first class with him, we threw out our old recipe book and started a new one making authentic, and unbelievably delicious gelato from scratch! Vincenzo taught us not only how to make a superior product, but also explained the science behind it so we could truly understand and continue to grow. We (along with our customers) are very appreciative of his guidance!”
“I discovered Gemelli Dessert Cafe when searching for unbiased instructors in the U.S. who were not affiliated with vendors. We wanted equipment and ingredient recommendations tailored to our natural concept and small space in the Seattle area, and we wanted basic instruction to supplement our independent research and retail shop experience. From the first inquiry, Vincenzo was patient, professional and informative, and he customized a course that perfectly fit our needs. Moreover, he was willing to answer lingering questions once we began our production. I would recommend Gemelli Gelato’s professional courses to anyone interested in learning the art and science of making artisan Italian gelato using the most natural and quality ingredients available. ”
“We saw a value in opening a Gelato shop in our community but had no personal experience; Vincenzo’s professional classes were exactly what we needed to get a start in the process. He covered a lot of valuable information that would have taken us YEARS to learn from others or by just jumping in! Also we should mention he didn’t overwhelm us with the materials being covered despite having no prior experience. We look forward to taking more classes with him next year after having a little more time in the kitchen… Thank you Vincenzo!”
“I have dreamed of starting my own gelato business for a long time but didn’t know where to begin. I wasn’t able to travel to Italy for training so I searched for over a year for the right instructor in the United States. Most trainings I found offered large classes and were affiliated with a supplier or vendor. I wasn’t looking to be sold equipment or products, I wanted someone who truly loved making gelato and made it well. I found Gemelli and looked at their website and Facebook page. It was exactly what I was looking for. A natural, quality product made by a well trained professional. From the first contact via e-mail, Vincenzo was very responsive, interested and encouraging. My husband and I spent 2 days with Vincenzo. The classes were one on one and packed with information. We learned about the science behind making gelato, the business and spent time in the kitchen making and tasting gelato. Vincenzo is professional and takes pride in what he does. We highly recommend his training. We plan to continue a long, working relationship with Vincenzo. He is encouraging and wants to help us to be successful. Thank you. ”
“From my initial inquiry to Vincenzo I was extremely impressed. He responded to numerous questions I had in advance to coming for training to support starting up my gelato business. His initial direction and recommendations prior to training saved me from making potential mistakes during the equipment purchasing process and selecting suppliers. Prior to attending Vincenzo’s one on one training, I attended several other training courses. His training exceeds the other training options available for individuals looking to get into the gelato business; there is an exceptional emphasis placed on not only making an exceptional product, but understanding the nuts and bolts behind making the best product. On top of the exceptional training, the gelato Vincenzo makes is the best gelato or ice cream that I have tried. After tasting his products and recipes, you will be 100% convinced that his way is the right way. Equally impressive for myself, is how spotless his kitchen and store is in terms of cleanliness; he takes a great deal of pride and exerts a great deal of passion with every aspect of his gelato business. I highly recommend training with Vincenzo if you are serious about starting a gelato business - there is nothing like it on the market. Thank you so much Vincenzo!”
“In my career as a chef I have found that the two best ways to gain knowledge is by years and years of hands on experience, trial and error and immersion in the science and the mechanics of cooking. The second is to take your first steps with a master who has done the said things already and can pass it on to you. Vincenzo is an amazing resource worth every penny and second you spend on and with him. I clearly came away with all my questions answered and a deeper understanding of the science and art of gelato than I had had only eight hours before. His knowledge, and the materials that you leave the course with, are worth the investment.”
“I highly recommend taking a private class with Vincenzo Gemelli from Professional Gelato Training. I had taken several professional gelato classes in the past. Though they were helpful, they did not answer all my questions needed in operating a gelato business. Many of the classes were taught by instructors who had not owned a gelato shop. By taking a class with Vincenzo, you receive both instructions on making gelato AND best practices for owning a gelato shop. I found the two-day class incredibly valuable. ”
“As a Pastry Chef for the past 25 years I have always searched for a refined method of creating gelatos and sorbettos that not only would taste amazing but would have a creamy and smooth texture without turning icy, hard or separating. Vincenzo’s method is based on a scientific ratio and method that if you adhere to, will produce a consistently smooth and flavorful product every time. You learn from Vincenzo not only the role of ingredients in gelato and how to balance them to create your own flavors, but also other invaluable information such as how to lay out your gelato lab/kitchen efficiently and what equipment is best suited for your needs. Vincenzo teaches a method of making old world gelato that you can’t find in any books or online and the product is delicious! It’s always hard to set yourself apart as a small business so having an exemplary product that is consistent is one of the best ways. I highly recommend Vincenzo’s gelato training, it is well worth the investment.”
“Vincenzo’s training was the perfect solution to our needs as startup gelato business owners. He tailored his training to our needs, answered our many questions, and gave us practical, hands-on experience. We highly recommend any aspiring gelato business owner reach out to Vincenzo for his training. It was absolutely essential to us! ”
“The Professional Gelato Training is worth the investment if you’re looking to make authentic Gelato. Vincenzo does a great job of explaining everything to you so it is easy to follow and put into practice.”
