What's inside?
The basis for all our ice creams is Gutsch oat milk from Schlieren (ZH). The ingredients are sourced as locally as possible — mainly from small producers who take care of nature — and we produce with organic raw materials and are currently changing the last units.
Gelavena Crew
Driven by a desire for a more progressive world, Claudia came up with the idea for a sustainable, locally produced ice cream and launched the project in the fall of 2020. Simon Zangger and Sandra Steffen were part of the team from early 2023 through late 2024. We started 2025 with a new founding team.
For the 2026 summer production, we’re making our ice cream in the rental kitchen at C.P.I. Kitchen Sharing in Binz, Zurich, and we’re also based at DasProvisorium, with whom we’ll be moving to the new location in the former Stadtküche in early June. In Lucerne, our base is in Winkel, Horw, and the cups are manufactured by the TRANSfair Foundation in Gwatt.
We’re currently working on new products—not just ice cream. We’re very excited!
