Everything you need to make better gelato
From real-time formulation balance to expert review and team collaboration, GelatoLab supports every part of your gelato workflow.
Recipe Formulation & Balance
GelatoLab calculates six key balance metrics in real time as you build your recipe: fat percentage, sugar percentage, total solids, water content, PAC (anti-freezing power), and POD (sweetening power). Each metric shows whether you're in range or out of bounds — with target ranges tuned per recipe category (milk-based, fruit, sorbet, chocolate, crema, nut-based). Pro users get a full balance panel with color-coded bars and detailed metric breakdowns.

Curated Ingredient Database
A library of gelato ingredients across 11 categories — dairy, milk solids, sugars, stabilizers, eggs, starches, nut pastes, flavorings, chocolate, fruit, and more. Each ingredient stores fat, sugar, water, and other solids percentages plus PAC/POD factors that feed directly into balance calculations. Includes FDA allergen tracking (9 major allergens), nutrition data per 100g, supplier associations, and the ability to create custom ingredients with full composition data.

Version History & Duplication
Every edit is tracked — ingredient changes, balance shifts, step modifications, scaling events. Compare any two versions side-by-side with visual diffs showing exactly what changed and by how much. Duplicate any public recipe into your own workspace to experiment without affecting the original, and restore any previous version with one click.
