Manufacturing & Cold Storage

We understand that where things come from and how they are made is important. We honor Italian tradition with time-tested, artisan techniques and amplify it with modern technology to deliver consistency at scale.
Villa Dolce operates a 76,000-sq-ft, state-of-the-art facility in Glendale, Arizona. Certified to SQF Level 3 and HACCP-based, our process blends old-world recipes, imported Italian equipment, and disciplined manufacturing controls to ensure quality in every serving.

Our site also includes 18,000 sq ft of on-site cold storage, protecting product integrity from our doors to yours.

Nitrogen Tunnel

We are one of the few manufacturers to use a nitrogen tunnel, which flash freezes the water molecules before they have a chance to expand, further enhancing the creamy texture that is synonymous with gelato. 

This process also helps our gelato maintain its artisanal presentation, saving our customers time and expense.

Let us help bring only the best to your table.

Nitrogen Tunnel

We turned desert dirt into a world-class gelato facility. Press play to see it happen.​

“At Villa Dolce, we are proud that our quality and safety standards meet or exceed all federal regulations and internationally recognized standards. We set the highest standards for ourselves and vendors.”
