How It’s Made

Hand Made with Locally Sourced, Fresh Ingredients

Great gelato starts with fresh milk and cream, and it’s harder to find dairy products fresher than the ones we use, which are sourced from Baily’s Dairy at Pocopson Meadow Farms, located right here in West Chester.

Freshness is just as important when it comes to the flavors that go into our artisanal gelato. We hand-roast our pistachios, pecans, almonds and hazelnuts and utilize local and seasonal fruits and ingredients when they are available.

Our gelato is handmade daily in our shop in the heart of Historic downtown West Chester and is produced in small batches to maintain freshness and quality.

The truth is, you can get a cold treat just about anywhere, but not all desserts are created equal. That’s why D’Ascenzo’s is dedicated to freshness and quality and serves only the finest gelato. You’ll taste the difference in every bite..
