Your ice cream shop has a recipe that works. The challenge now is to prepare it with the same precision during quiet days, peak seasons, and when the person at the scale changes.
With SaporePuro, you can transform your recipe into a customized premix, starting from 40 kg of mixture, with bags and packaging featuring your logo and no contractual supply constraints. You can also choose single ingredients and maintain the weights in your lab. The project starts from how you want to work.
Your recipe. Your brand. A simpler preparation to repeat.
What is a customized premix for ice cream?
A premix is a mixture of ingredients prepared in the proportions defined by the formulation. In ice cream making, it can include, for example, part of the sugars, fibers, milk solids, or stabilizers specified in the recipe.
Customization involves what goes into the mixture and what you continue to add. Milk, cream, water, characteristic pastes, and other ingredients can remain separate, according to the agreed preparation. Composition, dosage, and usage methods are defined together.
The practical advantage is having fewer components to weigh each time and a precise reference to follow. The choice of flavor, raw materials, and the result you want to achieve remains at the center of the project.
Premixes, bases, neutrals, or single ingredients: choose how much to delegate.
Every lab has a different organization. Some prefer to concentrate more weights in one bag, while others prefer to intervene on each component. For this reason, a tailored solution can have different levels of preparation.
- Single ingredients: for those who want to compose and modify the recipe in the lab, directly choosing sugars, fibers, proteins, and other technical ingredients.
- Mixing part of the recipe: to combine certain components in agreed proportions while continuing to manage other additions separately.
- Customized bases and neutrals: to work on a formulation tailored to your production method and application.
- Premixes dedicated to the ice cream recipe: to simplify preparation while maintaining a shared reference among producers.
A complete base is one possibility. The right solution can also be just one part of the formulation or a supply of individual ingredients. The comparison serves to identify the level of service useful for your business.
From 40 kg: a concrete minimum mixable amount
The minimum mixable amount for SaporePuro is 40 kg. This is the quantity of mixture from which the project can start, distinct from the weight of the individual package.
For an independent gelato shop, a central laboratory, or a small network of sales points, this threshold allows for reasoning about a defined batch, to be related to your own consumption. Before ordering, it is useful to estimate how much mixture you will use, how often, and how much space you have available.
The number of bags depends on the agreed format. Composition, weight of the packages, and customization of the packaging are defined in the proposal, so you know how the batch will fit into your daily work.
Standardize the recipe to simplify work in the laboratory
A repeated weighing many times requires time and attention. When the recipe includes several powdered ingredients, the steps to check and the packages to open, reseal, and identify also increase.
Bringing together the agreed components in a premix can help you to:
- reduce repetitive weighing during preparation;
- limit the chances of dosage errors on already mixed components;
- make the handover between operators clearer;
- organize the preparations with a defined sequence and dosage;
- maintain a common reference when working in multiple laboratories or sales points.
The consistency of gelato also depends on the added ingredients, temperatures, processing, and storage. Standardizing the mixture means making one part of the process more controllable and accompanying it with clear usage instructions.
To explore the role of the components, you can read the Academy guides on PAC and POD in gelato and on how to choose the neutral for gelato.
Custom bags and packaging with your gelato shop's logo
Customization can extend to the packaging. We can put your gelateria's logo on the bags and create customized packaging, consistent with the agreed project.
This allows you to identify the preparation with your brand and to organize the materials used in the lab in a recognizable way. The project defines the bag format, graphic presentation, and information that must accompany the product.
Formula and packaging respond to two different needs: the first concerns what you use, the second how you receive and recognize it. You can start from your original recipe and evaluate both customizations together with SaporePuro.
A useful service even for the single gelateria
Tailored solutions interest a network that wants to coordinate multiple locations, but they can also be useful in an independent lab. The criterion is the work you want to make simpler.
You may need to lighten the preparation of a widely used base, combine some powders that you weigh every morning, or keep ingredients and recipe separate, with a supply more suited to your organization.
When evaluating the project, consider the cost of the finished preparation, the dosage of the premix, the ingredients to add, and the time required from the staff. A price per kilogram, alone, describes only part of the choice.
How to start from your recipe
- Tell us how you produce. Indicate the type of gelato or preparation, indicative volumes, equipment used, and the step you would like to simplify.
- We define what to customize. The starting point can be a recipe you already use, part of the mixture, or a need to develop. We clarify the ingredients to combine and those to add in the lab.
- We agree on the formula, usage, and packaging. Dosage, preparation methods, bag formats, and graphics must be consistent with the result and your working method.
- We evaluate the proposal for the batch. Quantities, conditions, and necessary steps to proceed are defined. For mixing, we start from 40 kg.
If you already have an original recipe, let us know in the first contact: it helps to set the comparison on your goal and the level of intervention you desire.
Collaborate with SaporePuro, without contractual supply constraints
We do not impose contractual supply constraints. The project is defined through a proposal with agreed characteristics and conditions.
You can evaluate a customized premix or continue working with single ingredients. The collaboration should be beneficial to your laboratory and allow you to choose the solution that suits your needs.

Frequently asked questions about custom premixes
What is the minimum quantity?
The minimum mixable amount is 40 kg. The weight of each bag and the characteristics of the packaging are agreed upon in the project.
Can I start from my gelateria's recipe?
Yes. You can propose the recipe you use and discuss with SaporePuro which components to premix and which to continue adding in your laboratory.
Do I necessarily have to purchase a complete base?
You can also choose single ingredients or evaluate the premixing of part of the recipe. The solution is defined based on your working method.
Can the bags have my logo?
Yes. Customized bags and packaging with your business logo are available. Format and production are defined in the proposal.
Are there contractual supply constraints?
SaporePuro does not impose contractual supply constraints. Project characteristics and conditions of each order are agreed upon in the proposal.
