Having been raised in an Italian family with a chef for a father, Lisa grew up surrounded by food made from scratch and shared with love. Her happiest memories were spent baking alongside her mom, where she learned that food has the power to bring people together and create moments that last a lifetime.
Years later, a health diagnosis and food allergies inspired Lisa to bring together two important parts of her life: her lifelong love of baking and her growing passion for health and wellness.
The idea came to life on Lisa’s honeymoon in 2011, when she couldn’t stop talking about creating the allergy-friendly desserts she wished existed. The day she returned home, she used her wedding money to buy an ice cream maker and lovingly convinced her husband to join the adventure.
What began in their kitchen—and at a farmers’ market in the middle of winter—has grown beyond anything Lisa could have imagined. Today, the brand’s truly delicious gelato and ice cream sandwiches can be found in natural food stores throughout the West Coast.
Through it all, the purpose has remained the same: to create indulgent desserts with simple, clean, organic ingredients and without the top nine allergens—so people with food allergies can indulge with peace of mind, and everyone can share in the joy of a sweet treat they can feel good about.
