It's hard to imagine how people made and sold frozen treats before the handy ice cream batch freezer came along, but historians trace the birth of cold dessert creams back to 10th century Arabia. Chilled milk was sweetened and mixed with nuts and fruits and sold in local markets.

When a new business owner is preparing to open a dessert shop, it's easy to get overzealous and buy big when thinking about gelato supply needs. But, unless a business plans to manufacture, package and distribute massive quantities of product, odds are a modest-sized gelato, ice cream batch freezer is the way to go. A variety of frozen treats from sorbets to ices, custards and gelatos can be produced quickly with these flexible machines. And a wide range of optional features contribute to ease of use, quick turnover of batches and consistent product quality. Different models of these units, as well as the appropriate complementary ice cream or gelato display cases, can be recommended according to the expected volume of product one expects to sell daily. (A knowledgeable restaurant equipment supply consultant can advice a business owner or manager on the capacity he or she will most likely need, so that he/she does not purchase a larger, more expensive piece of equipment than necessary.)

With its densely blended ingredients, there is no frozen treat that is as much a treat to the eyes as fresh gelato. Display cases make perfect sense for this dessert, which pops with a rainbow of lovely colors and unforgettable flavors. Eye-popping, show-stopping gelatos must be seen to be sold, and The Perfect Fit can help your business do both.
