The name “LemonCello” is a creative blend of “Lemon” and “Cello,” symbolizing a beautiful melody created with fresh fruit. The founder, who is passionate about both music and gelato, sold his house and car in the winter of 2004 to dedicate himself to developing fresh and unique gelato flavors. Having trained under an Italian gelato artisan, he firmly believes that authentic ingredients and fresh preparation every day are the keys to exceptional gelato. After more than three months of relentless day-and-night testing, he finally perfected a recipe tailored to local and Asian palates, establishing this iconic, handcrafted gelato brand in Macao.
LemonCello’s gelato contains up to 80% fresh fruit, with minimal air incorporation. By eliminating high-fat ingredients such as butter and egg yolks found in traditional Italian gelato, its sorbets are made entirely of fresh fruit, while the low-fat gelato is made only with fruit and milk. This bold recipe yields a texture that is cotton-soft and silky smooth, and delightfully chewy and stretchy. Specializing in low-fat, creative frozen treats, the brand offers more than 100 fruit and milk-based flavors, with signature options including lemon, grapefruit, and black mango. The milk-based flavors are lower in sugar and fat, with creative and varied presentations. Extended product lines include gelato cakes and gelato mooncakes. The shop also offers complimentary tastings, allowing customers to sample before purchasing.
Anchored by its core philosophy of “low-fat, authentically crafted, and freshly made daily,” LemonCello seamlessly blends Macao’s diverse culture with international dessert standards, making it a must-try gelato brand for both locals and visitors. With just one refreshing bite, customers can savor the delightful flavors created with seasonal fresh fruit.
