Vanilla is far more complex than most people give it credit for. Call something “vanilla” and people hear plain. But vanilla is only grown in a handful of places that each give it a completely different personality.
Vanilla orchids grow in a handful of places around the world, and where they grow changes everything about how they taste. Climate, soil, and local growing traditions all leave their mark, the same way a coffee bean tastes completely different depending on which country it’s grown in.
One Ingredient. Six Origins. Endless Indulgence.
Tahitian Vanilla Gelato
Floral, almost cherry-and-anise-like, less “classic vanilla”. Lighter, brighter, a little exotic.
Why choose it: When vanilla needs to be the star and the interesting choice, not the safe one.
Pairing/recipe concepts: Affogato with a citrus twist, paired against dark berries (raspberry, blackberry coulis), or plated with a lemon or orange element to pick up its floral top notes.

Tahitian Vanilla Gelato
DOT 706444 | MFG 1922000 | GTIN 00814443014315
Indonesian Vanilla Gelato
Bold, smoky-sweet, deep and woodsy. The “classic vanilla, turned up” experience.
Why choose it: For guests who want vanilla to taste unmistakably like vanilla, rich and full rather than delicate.
Pairing/recipe concepts: Warm cobblers and pies, caramel or brown-butter drizzles that match its depth.
Indonesian Vanilla Gelato
DOT 706408 | MFG 1922003 | GTIN 00814443014476
Regional twist: Our Indo Java variations (named for the Java islands, not coffee) take this same bold, woodsy base in two distinct directions. Proof of how much range one origin can offer!
Madagascar Vanilla Gelato
The “textbook” vanilla: warm, creamy, sweet, balanced. This is the flavor most people picture when they hear the word.
Why choose it: Reliable, crowd-pleasing, versatile base note for a scoop shop or a la mode application. Priced comparable to ice cream; same price point, better quality!
Pairing/recipe concepts: Classic à la mode with any warm dessert, sundae base, root beer floats.
Madagascar Vanilla Gelato
DOT 706383 | MFG FS22004 | GTIN 00814443013288
Homestyle Vanilla Gelato
Custardy and rich. Condensed milk gives it a caramelized sweetness and a denser, more “old-fashioned” mouthfeel. Made with vanilla beans from the Bourbon Islands off the coast of Madagascar.
Why choose it: For nostalgia-driven menus. The “grandma’s kitchen” vanilla. Priced comparable to ice cream, making it an easy way to upgrade quality without changing your price point.
Pairing/recipe concepts: Banana pudding, dulce de leche swirl, pairs beautifully with cinnamon-forward baked goods.
Homestyle Vanilla Gelato
DOT 823572 | MFG 1922016 | GTIN 00814443015459
Mexican Vanilla Gelato
Warm, with a whisper of spice. Think a hint of clove or cinnamon underneath the vanilla.
Why choose it: A warm-spiced option distinct from anything currently in the case.
Pairing/recipe concepts: Churro, horchata, cinnamon-forward baked goods.

Clean, straightforward vanilla with 11g protein per serving! Built to taste like dessert first, functional second.
Why choose it: Post-workout, better-for-you, or active-lifestyle menu spots. Proof that “functional” doesn’t have to mean “flavorless.”
Pairing/recipe concepts: Protein shake, smoothie bowls, healthier dessert flatbreads, better-for-you sundaes.
Protein “Pumped Up” Vanilla Gelato
DOT 818584 | MFG 1922006 | GTIN 00814443015435
Premium Ice Cream
Dense, indulgent, and ultra-rich. Slower melt, more luxurious mouthfeel.
