Why is gelato smoothed out in the tray?

Have you ever wondered why we carefully smooth out the gelato when preparing a new tray?

It’s not just for looks—there’s a real technical reason behind it!

Here’s why:

• Even distribution – It helps maintain the right texture and creaminess throughout the entire tray.

• Better mix in variegated flavors – Smoothing the gelato blends it more evenly with the swirls, making sure every scoop—even in the cone—tastes just right.

• Improved serving – A smooth, even surface allows for perfect scoops and helps reduce waste.

• A feast for the eyes – A beautifully smoothed and decorated gelato cone is more tempting… because we eat with our eyes first!

So next time we serve you your favorite flavor, remember: every spatula stroke is a little gesture of love—for the gelato and for you!
