northcote

Anyone else finding the year is flying by? We certainly can’t believe it has only been 4 months since the opening of Biancolatte Northcote, our second shop and Northcote’s newest little treasure! What a wonderful welcome we have had with so many of you leaving 5 star reviews and saying it’s the best gelato and cannoli you’ve ever had! We are completely blown away. Northcote, you certainly love your Italian desserts and we love you for that.  There are so…

The guy you have to thank for…

GELATO CARTS BABY!

What a joy to be back in 2022 doing what we LOVE! With our fleet of gelato carts forced into hibernation for a couple of years it has been such a pleasure to dust them off, shine them up, and roll them out at so many weddings, parties and events over the last couple of months! While we aren’t quite back to pre-pandemic madness we are definitely out in full force serving our authentic Italian gelato to hundreds of events…

NEW WEEKEND HOURS FOR ELWOOD

To our wonderful customers – what a ride our little weekend bake shop has been! We (Andy and Fiona) have enjoyed every minute – sharing our passion for Italian food and meeting so many of you in our community who we don’t normally get to see! Sadly, we have had to put the bake shop aside for the moment to commit to other projects. We are always innovating and pushing forward at Biancolatte so that you can keep enjoying our…

WEBSITE ORDERING NOW AVAILABLE!

Over the next few months you’ll see some changes happening on our website – one of them is already in place and that’s our NEW online ordering system! But first, a little history about the site. The original biancolatte website – much of which is still live – was designed by husband and wife team Andrea and Camille Di Fiore in 2012. How cute is it that the whole site is designed like a gelato cart, and carries the original…

MELBOURNE’S BEST CANNOLI

Cannoli

IT STARTED as a collaboration between two Italian boys – Andy from Milan and a mate from Sicily. The research went deep – trying cannoli all around Sicily, training from the best pastry chefs in small towns that tourists would never find. The result is a unique and sublime pastry, filled with a silky smooth ricotta that is not ultra-traditional, but preferred everywhere we’ve looked. That dough with lashings of sweet marsala, a touch of cinnamon and layered to give…

WHAT’S NEW THIS WEEK?

Apparently, we have had a lot of requests for rum and raisin gelato lately. And we think this is an absolutely fantastic idea – so THAT’S why we went ahead and made something completely different – a special we call ‘liquori-misu!’ I think even we’re baffled as to what happened (we will make rum and raisin we promise!) but before we knew it, liquorice had turned into coffee and then into coffee, mascarpone & liquorice. If the curiosity factor doesn’t…

THIS FATHER’S DAY

fathers day

  Dads. Just…how do you make dad feel special? He’ll tell you he doesn’t really want anything cos he’s already got all the things he wants. Either that, or that he wants a yacht so…well, maybe next year dad? To be honest every year when I was little I used to get my dad socks. He always appreciated it, I think. I mean, every now and then you have to top up your sock supply somehow right? But surely we…

BIANCOLATTE BAKES

Bakes

We’ve been keeping something exciting under wraps for a few months now. Recipe testing, recipe test eating, more testing. Maybe we’ve all gone up one pants size. Okay two. But it was worth it! Definitely worth it. Why? Because we’ve been working on a new project called ‘Biancolatte Bakes’. Think a morning selection of fresh bomboloni, handmade pastries and the star – the 24hr fermented Focaccia Genovese.  Focaccia Genovese is a particular type of focaccia. In Italy there are plenty…

BIANCOLATTE IN THE TIME OF COVID-19.

From 15 staff just over a year ago – we are now just 5.  Rewind 18 months. It’s 8pm on a Saturday night. The production kitchen is pumping, carts are leaving to go out for jobs, others are returning…
