GelatoLove Wins Gold & bronze
San Diego Magazine’s Best of North County People’s Choice Contest
GelatoLove, the pioneering gelato manufacturer that revolutionized frozen desserts with natural, low-calorie formulations, has been awarded Gold in the Frozen Treat category and Bronze in the Best Dessert category in San Diego Magazine's prestigious Best of North County People's Choice contest.
"Not all gelato is created equal," says Paola Richard, founder and Rome native who established GelatoLove nearly twelve years ago in Carlsbad. "In 2018, we became the first company in the world to reinvent frozen desserts using allulose—a magic natural sugar derived from fruit with practically no calories. We were true pioneers in creating a fully natural solution for every ingredient, including stabilizers and emulsifiers."
GelatoLove's commitment to quality extends beyond innovative sweeteners. The company sources locally whenever possible, partnering with Hollandia Dairy for milk and cream, and featuring Carlsbad strawberries and other organic fruits from neighboring farms. This dedication to local, natural ingredients elevates each flavor to exceptional levels of taste and quality.
The artisan gelato team, led by Italian natives Paola and her husband Luca Guerzoni, offers an array of distinctive flavors crafted with meticulous attention to both tradition and innovation: like Italian Dream – A classic Italian Fior di Latte, the creamy heart of milk swirled with crunchy cashews, rich chocolate, and aromatic espresso, capturing the essence of traditional Italian gelato craftsmanship. Or Blueberry Lemon Meringue – Luscious lemon blueberry gelato made with locally sourced organic fruit, elegantly sprinkled with delicate lemon cookies for a sophisticated balance of sweet and citrus. Salty Pistachio – GelatoLove's signature flavor featuring premium pistachios enhanced with a perfect touch of sea salt, showcasing the artisan approach to flavor innovation that has defined the brand since its inception. Fan favorites include the Classic Stracciatella with delicate melted chocolate, an Espresso gelato and the refreshing Tropical Piña Colada, showcasing GelatoLove's range from traditional Italian classics to innovative tropical creations
Recently, GelatoLove achieved a significant milestone through a collaboration with Fabbri, the iconic Italian company renowned for its amarena wild cherries since 1905. Operating in 150 countries worldwide, Fabbri selected GelatoLove to create exclusive gelato flavors featuring no added sugar and only the finest natural ingredients—products designed for nationwide distribution across the United States.
"This recognition from San Diego Magazine and the North County community means everything to us," Paola adds. "GelatoLove is a story of excellence and food innovation born in Carlsbad, and we're excited about our nationwide expansion while staying true to our roots and values."
