Our Passion For Dessert

We are passionate about serving the best desserts to meet the needs of our customers. That’s why we only use gelato made by Maleny Food Co. Their gelato creation process is an artform! They are dedicated to creating authentic gelato in the traditional Italian style. That means they only use fresh ingredients that have been stirred by hand.

We train all staff in the precise art of scooping. After all, gelato is different to regular ice cream and needs delicate care to master! Also all eighteen flavours of gelato are chosen based on customer feedback and popular demand. You can trust that every flavour is worth trying!

I Scream for… Gelato?

So what exactly is gelato? Well it’s a type of ice cream that’s made in an Italian style developed back in the 16th century. Gelato is created at a much slower speed, churned rather than whipped, which allows less air to settle into the cream. Gelato is 70% more dense than regular ice cream. This means there’s more of it per scoop! That’s often why gelato is served in slightly smaller portions: because you’re still getting more.

It also uses slightly different ingredients to regular ice cream. While regular ice cream only uses a simple milk and cream combination, gelato will also add in a range of nuts, fruits and chocolates. This makes it thicker, richer, and more flavoured.

Many of our gelatos are gluten free, so ask our friendly staff which ones are suitable for you to try.

SORBET FLAVOURS

GELATO FLAVOURS

Sorbet is the Sor-Best!

Sorbet is a healthier, and more eco-friendly option. It is made in the same way as gelato, but with a water-based combination of ingredients instead of milk. This means sorbet is 100% dairy free. It’s still sweet, creamy, and absolutely delicious! Just without so much sugar and fewer calories.

Our sorbets are a mixture of fruit purees, water and sugar. This means they have all natural ingredients, and have no gluten, egg, fat or gelatine, making them vegan friendly.

Only the Best Ingredients

Not all Gelato is made equal. The ingredients used in preparing gelato made a huge difference in the quality of the final product. That’s why our partners at Maleny Food Co always make our gelato from Maleny Guernsey milk, sourced from local Brisbane farmers. Guernsey milk is high in protein, high in good fats, and easier to digest than other milks.

Our gelato also uses natural, fresh foods in the mixture, including nuts, fruits, and chocolates. Other gelatos will sometimes use cheap flavourings to mimic the taste. But you can tell the difference between artificial and real. And at The Long Yard Larder, we always use the real thing.

Good Gelato is Served…WARM

Traditionally, real gelato is served slightly warmer than regular ice cream. This is because we want the texture to stay silky and smooth, rather than go hard like ice. Gelato that is too cold will turn too solid and lose that gentle and smooth taste. Unfortunately many gelato stores won’t keep their gelato at the right temperature, and end up serving it rock hard. That’s why we always make sure the temperature is just right.
