Orsobianco is redefining gelato as an immersive experience. Jocelyne Gemayel Tchopourian, co-founder and CEO of the popular brand, lifts the lid on the handcrafted gelato that uses the finest local ingredients for exceptional flavors.
What differentiates Orsobianco?
At Orsobianco in Gemmayze, we believe that gelato should be more than just a treat — it should be an experience. Moreover, what makes us special goes beyond our delicious flavors; it’s the heart and passion we put into every scoop.
Handcrafted with love, our gelato and sorbet are made from scratch with a great deal of care. Furthermore, we take our time to perfect each recipe, ensuring that every bite is as delightful as the last. We’re incredibly picky about what goes into our gelato; only the finest, handpicked ingredients make the cut. Additionally, by sourcing from the best local producers, we ensure that everything is fresh and full of flavor. Our sorbets are made with the freshest fruits, and you can taste the difference in every spoonful. Notably, our sorbets capture the pure, vibrant flavors of Lebanon’s seasonal fruits. We love to innovate and surprise our customers with new flavors, such as vegetable gelato.
At Orsobianco, we push the boundaries of traditional gelato, offering unique flavors you won’t find anywhere else. Supporting local farmers and using sustainable practices is important to us. This not only means our ingredients are top-notch but also that we’re giving back to our community. Each recipe is carefully balanced to ensure harmony of flavors. Consequently, this attention to detail ensures every scoop is a perfect blend of taste and texture. We pride ourselves on being trendsetters in the gelato world. Whether it’s introducing new flavors or setting the standard for quality, Orsobianco is always ahead of the curve.
What feedback have you received about your vegetable-flavored ice creams?
Our vegetable-flavored ice creams have pleasantly surprised our customers. While many are curious but apprehensive when they hear about flavors like spinach, beetroot and carrot, they quickly change their mind after the first bite; they love the mix of spinach, green apple and banana, finding it fresh and delicious. Similarly, the combination of sweet carrot and tangy orange intrigues people, much like our earthy beetroot and spicy ginger creation. Overall, our vegetable flavors have been a big hit, as people seek tasty, healthy treats and our unique flavors meet their expectations.
Do you have plans to expand in the region?
We are focused on expanding in Lebanon. Maybe at a later stage, we will be interested in expanding to the Middle East, but, for now, our eyes are firmly set locally.
