🏆 WE’RE FINALISTS FOR 6 YEARS IN A ROW! 🏆

We’re absolutely thrilled to share that TWO of our products have made it through as finalists in the Quality Food Awards, marking an amazing 6 consecutive years as finalists💫

🧡 Seabuckthorn & Orange Sorbet
Finalist in the Ice Cream & Lollies category — Our bright, zingy sorbet, packed with pure Seabuckthorn puree and an orange ripple, this has been a customer favourite for years

🍨 Fior di Latte
Finalist in the Foodservice category - The purest expression of what we do. Unhomogenised local milk & cream,slow churned traditional Italian gelato-making, with nowhere for anything to hide.

For a small independent producer like us, being recognised year after year by the longest running food awards makes us so happy.

We’ve always believed that gelato starts with exceptional ingredients and proper craftsmanship, so seeing both an adventurous sorbet AND our beautifully simple Fior di Latte reach the finals makes us incredibly proud.

Now we wait for the results… 🤞🏆

One year ago, we closed the doors to our Kentish Town parlour 🍨

And what a year it’s been 💫

We still miss our regulars enormously — the familiar faces, the chats over the counter, hearing your life updates and knowing your usual order before you’d even asked

But closing one door really did open another ✅

We’ve moved into our new production unit, built some incredible new business relationships, supplied more customers across the country, scooped at more weddings, events and farmers’ markets — and survived a summer of heatwaves that kept us busier than ever! ☀️

We’ve also added more awards to the cabinet 🏆 while continuing to make gelato without compromising on the ingredients or standards we believe in

One improvement we’re especially proud of is sourcing our milk & cream directly from a local, family-run dairy farm and their own single herd 🐄 🥛

In incredibly tough times for British farmers, we are proud to that we can support a family farm. It also takes us another step towards something hugely important to us — knowing exactly where our ingredients come from and sourcing directly from farmers and producers wherever possible 🧑‍🌾

And life has changed outside Caliendo’s too…

We’ve had more precious time with family and friends and finally started our dream hobby of beekeeping — even extracting our very first honey this summer 🐝🍯

To our Kentish Town customers who continue to support us , to our wonderful new local customers and our business clients across the country — thank you ❤️

One year later, Caliendo’s looks different.

But the passion, standards and family behind it haven’t changed
Let’s see what another year brings 💪

💔 We are absolutely heartbroken at the loss of Dolly Parton

It’s difficult to imagine a world without Dolly in it. Somehow, she felt like one of those people who would simply be around forever.

For us, she was far more than an incredible voice and songwriter. Dolly represented so many things we admire — hard work, determination, generosity, humour, family and never forgetting where you came from.

She built an extraordinary career while remaining unmistakably herself. No apologies. No pretence. Just enormous talent, a huge heart and plenty of rhinestones.

Her music has played in our lab, our cars and through countless long days at Caliendo’s. Today those songs will sound just a little different.

This is our favourite quote of hers ❤️

“Find out who you are and do it on purpose.” — Dolly Parton

Thank you for the music, the laughter and for showing generations of women that you can be strong, successful, kind and completely yourself.

Rest in peace, Dolly. 🕊️

We will always love you.
