Why plant-based gelato?
For us the answer is simple:
Eliminating animal products, including milk and eggs, has a positive impact for animals and the environment,
over half the adult population is dairy intolerant, and it is just plain delicious!
We are conscious about what we put into our bodies and the environment, and we bet you are too. This is why we choose to keep our recipes free of artificial fillers, artificial stabilizers, artificial flavors and artificial colors. Nothing artificial!
Our top priority at Conscious Creamery is to hand craft the highest quality plant-based gelato using seasonal local produce.
Seasonality is important to us, so you’ll likely see us perusing area farmers’ markets and talking to our trusted vendors to make sure we source the best produce California has to offer. This is why some flavors are offered for a limited time based on ingredient availability and quality.
We also strive to source organic and fair trade whenever possible. For specialty ingredients that cannot be locally sourced, we invest great effort to procure them from around the world.
All base recipes are soy and gluten free and are specially created for each event and occasion we serve, beginning with organic raw cashews and filtered water in our dedicated commercial kitchen with love, attention and fresh ingredients.
We also use fully biodegradable cups and spoons, and our gelato catering cases are environmentally friendly, requiring no electricity or gas generators. The case bases are well insulated; cooling is provided by dry ice when necessary.
