Everything you need to make better gelato
From real-time formulation balance to expert review, GelatoLab supports every part of your gelato workflow.
Recipe Formulation & Balance
GelatoLab calculates your recipe's key balance metrics in real time as you build it: fat, sugar, total solids, water, MSNF (milk solids non-fat), and stabilizers — plus advanced 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, and vegan). You get a full balance panel with color-coded bars and detailed metric breakdowns.
- Fat, sugar, solids, water %
- MSNF & stabilizer tracking
- PAC & POD calculations
- Per-category target ranges
Curated Ingredient Database
A professionally curated library of gelato ingredients across 14 categories — dairy, non-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) and supplier associations. Can't find what you need? Submit an ingredient request — the database keeps growing.
