About Giapo

Giapo is an innovative food brand and flagship ice cream store based in Auckland, New Zealand, renowned for creating "edible art without parallel." Founded by Giapo and Annarosa—an Italian maker-artist and a pharmacist-scientist—the brand represents a unique intersection of artistic wonder, published food science, and an uncompromising commitment to quality. At its core, Giapo is defined by several key elements: ● Edible Wonder: Giapo does not just sell traditional ice cream; it sells an "interactive experience that is fun and engaging." Their creations are visually spectacular, boundary-pushing masterpieces designed to elicit surprise and make people rethink what is possible with food. ● 100% Gluten-Free Mastery: Everything made at Giapo is entirely gluten-free, crafted in a dedicated, purpose-built facility with zero cross-contamination. Importantly, they do not treat dietary restrictions as a limitation or an apology. Instead, they view it as a point of mastery, effectively removing the "ceiling" on what gluten-free food can taste like so that everyone enjoys the exact same high-standard experience. ● Fresh, Living Recipes: The kitchen rejects the static, powdered mixes used by most of the industry. Their recipes are considered "living, breathing entities" that are meticulously calibrated every single day to account for variables like weather, humidity, and ingredient maturation.
