What is a carapina for gelato?

A gelato carapina is an essential component for bars and gelato shops, designed to fit perfectly into well-type display counters. Made of 100% Italian AISI 304 stainless steel, this cylindrical container ensures durability, reliability and quality.

AISI 304 steel represents the top quality standard in the production of equipment and accessories for the hospitality sector, meeting the strictest hygiene and durability requirements thanks to its high chromium and nickel content. This material is completely stainless and hygienic even in direct contact with food.

Each carapina can be equipped with an airtight lid (optional) and is inserted into the well through a ring (optional). Its structure allows simple and intuitive use, even during gelato removal and replacement operations.

The carapina also helps maintain the optimal temperature, essential for preserving gelato consistency. While the glycol-cooled well counter provides cold from both top and bottom, it is the carapina itself that encloses the gelato and preserves its quality. Transparent polycarbonate lids are also available (optional).

Discover the advantages of using carapine for gelato

Using carapine in gelato counters offers several significant advantages over traditional display cases. While display showcases may be visually appealing, carapine prove to be more efficient and advantageous over time.

Once customers taste gelato stored in carapine, they immediately appreciate its perfect consistency: creamy, without being too soft or crystallized. Unlike display cases, carapine protect gelato from oxygen exposure and temperature fluctuations caused by frequent opening and closing.

In display cases, gelato on the surface can become too hard or too soft depending on temperature changes, requiring constant control. On the contrary, gelato stored in carapine does not undergo thermal shock and maintains its organoleptic properties over time.

Carapine are therefore the ideal choice to always guarantee high-quality gelato with excellent taste. Their ability to maintain perfect consistency without compromising quality makes them an essential accessory for every gelato shop.
