UK ingredients supplier Henley Bridge is expanding its ice cream and gelato range to meet growing demand for specialist products and flavors.

The company has added 113 new products from Italian gelato company Rubicone. 

The new additions include flavoring pastes and powders - including lemon cookie, apple pie, wild berries and dulce de leche - and rippling sauces, such as chocolate profiterole, sour cherry, peach and orange, and butterscotch. Other additions include a black charcoal waffle mix and ruby chocolate flavor cream.

Steve Carrigan, gelato and ice cream technician for Henley Bridge, said, “Today’s consumers are demanding more premium treats and we’re seeing a lot more artisanal gelato and dessert parlors opening up in the UK. In addition, restaurants, bars and cafes are also recognizing the financial benefits of having a bespoke gelato offering.

“Social media channels, particularly Instagram, are fueling interest in weird and wonderful flavor combinations and creations in the gelato category, and our new range extension and menu development facility will help support our customers to keep on track with changing trends, as well as help them to push the boundaries in terms of their own innovation.”

In addition to Rubicone, Henley Bridge is also a supplier of the Irca Joygelato range of ice cream and gelato products.
