VIDEO: Gelato is a fresh made break in a pre-packaged world

The skills are from Italy. The ingredients from close-by. While many of the treats we enjoy come in a wrapper, gelato tends to be made on site. And at QB Gelato, that means from scratch.

"It was probably the most incredible experience that I've ever had," said Victor Laderoute of his experience at a gelato university in Italy. He and his partner, Kevin Bojda returned to Canada and opened their own QB Gelato at Landmark, where they stick to a commitment to make their diverse selection of gelato and sorbet from scratch. Bojda said the process is a big part of why people enjoy it so much "The ability to see into the kitchen," he said, "to see the gelato being made."

"I'm actually looking from the other side of the glass," said Laderoute. "And I can actually see them at the tasting bar, and their eyes light up!"

"We wanted to slow it down," he said. "And go back to, sort of, old school where we know what the ingredients are, each single one." We watched as QB's pistachio gelato started with the grinding of pistachio nuts, before being mixed in with all of the other scratch ingredients. "That's where it all starts," Laderoute said. Instead of showing the various offerings through glass, at QB the different choices are tucked away and people are encouraged to have a taste, instead of going by appearance. "Because now it's all about the taste of the product," said Bojda.
