Espo’s Gelato was founded in September 2002 by Jennifer Esposito. It was a self-funded, grassroots effort to follow
her passion for gelato and sorbetto and bring a true European style ice cream to the U.S. market.
We adhere to
strict Italian tradition and process. As with artisan gelaterias overseas, all recipes are our original formula. Everything
we produce is all natural using only fresh, wholesome ingredients.
Traditionally done, all Espo’s Gelato
is lower in fat than most gelato found in the States as well as most American ice cream. All Espo’s Sorbetto is non
fat, non dairy. We use only pure fruit, fresh squeezed lemons, a natural blend of cocoas, natural vanilla beans etc. We do
not use juices, extracts or colors to enhance the product. Our equipment is imported directly from overseas which helps insure
proper air content and texture. This attention to detail allows Espo’s to have a rich, dense product with intense flavors
while maintaining a very clean, smooth mouth feel.
Although our hand mixed batches have grown since Espo’s
first started, we balance tradition with the ability to produce the volume demanded. There is a strong sense of pride at Espo’s
knowing that our customers receive an artisan product that is more traditional and pure than any other gelato in the mass
market today.
