Gelato Maestros

Maurizio Paci

After completing his studies in food chemistry in 1972, he started with passion to work on Gelato. He started a collaboration with semi-finished products’ industries. In 1980, he moved to the United States to open an Ice-cream shop chain as a consultant. During that period, new ice-cream shops in San Diego in California were set up: they were called “Gelatamore”. He specialized in industrial plants and artisanal ice-cream. He attended a course of Food Science at San Diego University and achieved a Master Degree in Dairy Food Technology in 1985. When he got back to Italy, he started a collaboration with Coldelite - Iceteam 1927 for the development of new ice-cream machines. He created an innovative software called Smart5, which is a reference tool for any Gelatiere that wants to balance and know his own Gelato.
