...We believe every life is made a little better by gelato and bringing people together over gelato is what we do: the very best in artisan gelato, made with love and laughter to lift your spirits. Gelato to fall in love with.   

...We take the very finest and freshest ingredients in our Flavour Lab. Some sourced locally – milk and cream from Bruton Dairy in Somerset. Others sourced for their intensity of flavour – lemons grown under the Sicilian sun, vanilla from Madagascar. Each day we make our gelato fresh, churning it slowly – very, very slowly – in the traditional Italian way. It’s what gives our gelato its distinctive smooth, silky texture and intense, rich flavour. So take your time over your gelato. We certainly do.

...GELATO TYPICALLY HAS 50% LESS FAT THAN TRADITIONAL ICE CREAM, BUT IT TASTES MUCH CREAMIER. THE CREAMY TEXTURE COMES FROM THE WAY IT’S MADE, SLOW CHURNING INSTEAD OF RAPID BEATING. LOW FAT, RICH, CREAMY TEXTURE, INTENSE FLAVOUR – SO YOU CAN EAT TWICE AS MUCH. 

...AND ALL THE YEAR ROUND IN FACT. GELATO IS SERVED AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE THAN ICE-CREAM, AROUND 10-15% HIGHER, TO BE PRECISE. IT MELTS QUICKLY ON YOUR TONGUE TO RELEASE SCOOP LOADS MORE FLAVOUR.  

...Whether it’s a Torta gelato, Monoporzione or Swoon on a stick our recipes are founded on generations of enjoyment, carefully crafted, created with passion. Enjoy with friends in our gelato bar or take home for family sharing, a dinner party gift. Life enriched by gelato.   

...For more than a century our family has been making original artisan gelato in the UK. In the rain, the snow, through the good times and bad, Forte family gelato parlours were a haven of warmth and welcome, camaraderie and community, somewhere to find friendship, a little moment of joy, a little moment of pure delight.

At Swoon we intend to sustain that tradition. We are proud of the dedication of our ancestors who cared about quality and cared about their customers.
