Our Story

Since its inception in 2001, XTC Gelato has become a renowned gelato brand in the vibrant city of Hong Kong — natural, low-fat gelato free of artificial additives, colourings, flavourings and preservatives.

What makes XTC Gelato different?

At XTC Gelato we make uncompromisingly delicious gelato. Hong Kong is an inspirational place and where we get ideas to design our flavours, which we have been doing since 2001. We are passionate about what we create, using natural and fresh ingredients to preserve the traditional artisan gelato making process. We are known as a leader in the Hong Kong community for taking traditional local desserts and drinks and turning them into tasty gelato and sorbetto flavours — as well, of course, as producing many traditional gelato favourites.

“Homegrown and proudly local”

We don’t compromise on ingredients and source the best from all over the world, using French Valrhona chocolate, Madagascan vanilla beans, quality Australian milk and mangos direct from farms in the Philippines. Our team of around 20 dedicated professionals ensures every scoop maintains the highest standards of quality and taste — made in Hong Kong, for Hong Kong.

We presently have three XTC Gelato retail shops, supply some of Hong Kong’s top chefs, supermarkets and clubs, and operate a customised events business.

What’s the difference between ice cream and gelato?

Fat content — our gelato contains an average of 5–10%, whereas traditional ice cream averages over 20%.
Air — gelato contains less air than ice cream, so you taste the intense flavour of the real ingredients.
Main ingredient — gelato uses more milk than cream, and is full of fresh ingredients such as fruit, chocolate or nuts.
