We searched and sought, but we could not find the perfect gelato. The centuries-old secrets of the Italian masters had been lost! Knowing that gelato should be magnificent, we set out to rediscover those Old World techniques and create a new standard of quality and taste with our own inspiration, ingredients, and creativity.
GELATO FIASCO IS THE RESULT OF OUR QUEST.
Inspired by Italy. Perfected in Maine.
Here’s how:
The Maine Way
Here in Maine, we’re a little bit stubborn about perfection.
It’s about an insistence to combine time-tested techniques with new ideas and inspiration to keep on creating, keep on improving, inch by inch, until it’s just right. Humbled by the natural world that surrounds us always, we craft good things that last. Or at least until you finish every last spoonful.
Only the Best Ingredients
To make great gelato and sorbetto, we use good ingredients.
It tastes better because it is better. Here’s our list of ingredient standards for our grocery store pints.
- No erythritol
- Milk from family farms
- No aspartame
- No rBST
- No artificial flavors
- No synthetic colors
- No high fructose corn syrup

Visualizing the future that would come, we called it the Flagship Store even when we had only one store. Our birthplace is home to Bowdoin College, an oddly significant amount of Civil War history, and beautiful coastline. The Flagship Store is within walking distance of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, the Amtrak station, and dozens of excellent small restaurants and eclectic retail stores.

Special Moments at Home
All-natural flavors available for your home freezer.
A campfire classic: Graham cracker gelato accented with chunks of chocolate and homemade toasted marshmallows.
Fruit-speak for delicious.
A customer suggestion that hit big time, this gem was inspired by the seductive, creamy filling found in Sicilian cannoli.
Vanilla, blueberries from Maine’s coast, and original oat streusel.
"Truly dense, dark, OH-my-CHOCOLATE." - Sally
Rich, dark chocolate with sea-swept caramel. A decadent treat.
A smooth raspberry sorbetto with chocolate truffles.
Always be about add-ins! It's a fresh cream gelato with chunks of peanut butter cookie dough, chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie dough bits, along with chocolate bar pieces.
Plunge the depths of brown butter gelato for great treasures: salty pretzels, chocolate-dipped bourbon butter orbs, and fudge swirl!
A payday for peanut farmers! Maximum peanut butter density achieved with a salted creamy peanut butter base, a rippled peanut butter swirl, and chopped chocolate peanut butter cups. It’s good.
Twice the caramel is twice as nice. Smooth caramel gelato with an extra caramel swirl and double-chocolate cookies.
Why choose between brownies and cookies when you can have both? Dense, perfectly nuanced mint gelato with chunks of brownies and an outrageously fudgy cookie swirl.
The deep woods of Maine are filled with mystery and wonder. Just like this pint: you’ll find a cherry-swirled black forest cake gelato with whipped cream, brownies, and chocolate shavings.
