After this course, I opened my gelato shop
April 08, 2020by: Luciana Gonzalez - MexicoProgram: Gelato Course in Florence, ItalyI took a Gelato Course at FCAS last summer for just 2 weeks but it was a lovely experience. The instructors helped me a lot in terms of understanding the process, how it's made, the type of equipment used, and what the difference is between gelato and regular ice cream. Absolutely worth it!
