Gelato Johhny
National Technical Manager Jonny Ireland (or Gelato Jonny as he is known) has worked in the Ice Cream industry for over a decade.
Jonny has had extensive training from different parts of the Ice Cream sector. After gaining a lot of his knowledge from a large range of Antonelli customers from all over the county he started to use his skills at home with a small commercial batch freezer to develop recipes.
He then took his knowledge to a new level when he trained in Advanced Gelato making over in Bologna Italy. Always keen to learn more, Jonny has also visited pastry and gelato chefs and also hosts them in the Antonelli Gelato Academy. Ultimately though, he is mainly driven by his passion for gelato and training.
Jonny has run the Gelato Academy since it’s creation helping establish it’s reputation in the industry as the “go to” location for training and development. He also writes articles for the Ice Cream Alliance every month takleing different technical aspects of recipes, trends and ingredients.
“I have always loved ice cream and gelato, it’s such a great product that nearly everyone can enjoy. The Gelato Academy is the perfect place for me to offer support to people whether they are looking to join the ice cream world or support a business with more recipes and ideas”.
