The Secret of Artisan Ice Cream
A private workshop in the heart of Barcelona
Ice cream the way it was made before industrial freezers
Long before industrial freezers, ice cream was made by hand, with real ingredients and no rush. A tradition with centuries of history in Spain that's still alive today in a handful of artisan ice cream parlours in Barcelona's historic centre. With Ragnia you step into one of them as an apprentice for a day.
The workshop: where artisan ice cream is born
You get private access to the workshop of a historic artisan ice cream parlour in Barcelona, the space a customer never normally sees, guided by a master ice cream maker who walks you through every stage of the process: how fresh fruit is chosen, how chocolate and select vanilla are worked, and why artisan ice cream is recognised by its texture before you even taste it.
Your creation: combine flavours, aromas and textures
With those techniques learned, you create your own ice creams, combining flavours, aromas and textures to your taste. The most fun part of the workshop, designed for experimenting without fear of getting it wrong.
The tasting: the result of your work
The workshop closes by tasting what you've just created, a moment designed to be shared with family or friends, and to take home the sweetest, most sophisticated side of Barcelona.
