Gelato:  We get asked all the time what is the difference between gelato and ice cream.  Ice Cream’s main ingredient is cream while gelato’s is milk.  The other primary difference is the density.  Ice cream is fluffy and airy while gelato is dense, smooth and intense.  Gelato is also healthier as it has far less fat than ice cream due to milk having a much lower fat content than cream. 

Lucia Gelato is available in the following flavours in a retail
500ml pack size:

Coconut Joe - Joe is our roommate and his all time favourite gelato is Coconut.  Especially with some fresh squeezed lime on top. It is sublime when mixed with Mango Tango Sorbetto.  You’ll feel like you just waxed your board and hit the surf!


Chocolate - We use Dark Chocolate for all of our chocolate-based flavours and those of you who like chocolate a lot, will know why.  Rich and velvety as it melts down your mouth and healthy too.  High in anti-oxidants and good for your heart you may want to think about having an extra scoop.


Chocolate Hazelnut Kiss - Our most popular flavour, combining the deep darkness of chocolate with the subtle yet succulent flavour of hazelnut.  The key to any great make out session is for one party to not overpower the other yet to still be an active player.  Our kiss fits the bill and we think it will leave everyone completely satisfied.

Double Chocolate Mint - A modern twist on an old classic.  Dark chocolate gelato with dark chocolate chunks and a hint of mint.  Sounds dangerous doesn’t it?  It is.  Once open it has a hard time making it’s way back to the freezer.
 

Dulce De Leche - “La Dolce Vita” is Italian for “the Sweet Life”.  We feel fortunate to live in and enjoy our lives in the Coast Mountains of BC and feel like we have it pretty sweet.  Our Dulce De Leche is made with sweet milk and has a delicate caramel flavour. We hope you enjoy "the sweet life" too!


Strawberry - Made with fresh strawberries, our strawberry gelato is fresh tasting with no artificial flavours.  Basic but not ordinary it makes you hum the refrain to “Strawberry Fields Forever” with every bite.



Two Tony’s Espresso - My husband Tony and his good friend Tony really like coffee.  They like to make it, they like to drink it and now they like to eat it!  After an extensive taste tour they have chosen Sea To Sky’s own Galileo espresso as the official crema source for our espresso gelato.  Italians don’t like mixing coffee and milk after lunch but we think you’ll enjoy this espresso anytime.

Vanilla KO - On our first visits to Italy we traveled with another good friend, KO.  At every gelato shop she would simply order vanilla. More than anyone we know KO knows what she likes and we think you’ll agree that she does have good taste.


Yogi Bare - People ask why plain frozen yogurt.  Our answer:  Take 2-3 scoops (or the whole container) and add your favourite in-season fruit. You’ll understand that with Yogi Bare sometimes less is more.



RCMP - Made with real Canadian maple Syrup and Chef Maggie’s famous candied pecans. It will make you want to lock yourself up so you don't have to share with anyone.



The Don - Wicked.  Larger than Life.  Rich.  To be a true "Don" you have to have it all.  Ours is a criminal combo of dark cherries, pure almond and dark chocolate chunks.   It will make even the nicest person cross over to the darkside!
