02Comparative tastings

Cream, pistachio, vanilla, sorbets, nuts and chocolate — real flavour versus “flavouring”.

03Knowledge without secrets

Talks, Q&A, recipe balancing and complete recipes created during the event.

Preliminary schedule

3 days. Zero boredom.

The schedule may still evolve — the idea stays the same: hands-on practice, knowledge, tasting and full recipe transparency.

Tasting all day long. Non-stop.

Throughout Gelato Jam Session we will continuously prepare new gelato flavours live and serve them for tasting. Drop by, taste, ask questions and compare — tastings will run for the entire event.
