Teo Goes to Italy!

Have you ever noticed that the Leaning Tower of Pisa is the cornerstone of our logo? That’s because our shop has true Italian roots. Our owner Matthew (aka Teo) learned how to make gelato IN Italy before the shop opened. But, he didn’t stop there. He continues to travel to the home of gelato to strengthen relationships with our Italian supporters and friends, and learn about the newest techniques, the latest flavors, and the tricks of the coveted trade. His next trip is…well…he leaves TODAY!

If you are reading this the day we posted it (1.18.12), it is very likely that Matthew is en route to Italy, where our gelato journey began! He’s attending the International Exhibition for the Artisan Production of Gelato (SIGEP) in Rimini! (But don’t worry, we’ll still be serving up your favorite treats at the shop!)

Matthew will also be stopping in Rome, Florence, and Milan to visit cafes, gelaterias, and meet with our torrefazione (eye-talian for coffee roaster) and gelato artisans to make sure Teo remains true to its Italian roots!

We’ll be posting live updates here on our blog, Facebook, and Twitter, so connect with us to feel like you’re a part of our journey!

Arrivederci! (’til we meet again)
