On this edition of “The Secrets of Mastery,” a production of Craftsmanship Magazine, we hear from Italian gelato-maker, Andrea Soban, based in the northern city of Valenza, Italy.

Soban is a third-generation gelato maker, who continues to win prizes at international competitions for the quality of his coveted dessert.

In 2019, Soban published a book titled simply “Making Italian Gelato.”

In this short interview, Soban talks about the differences between gelato and ice cream, and about what his family has taught him about mastering this creative culinary endeavor.

This story draws on original reporting from journalist Erla Zwingle, who wrote “Secrets of an Italian Gelato Maker” for Craftsmanship Magazine.
