Joe Delucci's
Joe Delucci's is a frozen dessert company based in the United Kingdom, producing Italian gelato, ice cream and sorbet. Initially supplying a range of twenty flavours to the UK food service industry, the company opened its first retail store in Leamington Spa in 2006, and now also operates franchised and company-owned outlets in Westfield London, Westfield Stratford City, Brent Cross Bluewater, Lakeside, Meadowhall Sheffield and Bullring Birmingham. Products
Joe Delucci’s now produces over thirty different flavours of gelato, which is made with whole fruit and natural ingredients with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Unlike ice cream, gelato’s density ingredients requires a slightly higher serving temperature, aiming for a point between firm and hard, soft but not melting. The company supplies gelato to the food service industry through national companies such as Brakes. Name
The name Joe Delucci is a fictional name. The rough translation means 'Joe of Light' and is a reference to the company's stated aim to change how consumers in the UK perceive ice cream by showing them 'the ice cream light'. Joe Delucci's gelato isn't ice cream as most people know it, rather, it is genuine Italian Gelati and Sorbetti. Awards
