Join globally acclaimed gelato master Chef Karthik Swaminathan as he leads a progressive and inspiring session with MEC3, introducing two innovative product ranges reshaping the future of gelato: Good for You and Meno Meno.
As consumers become more health-aware, the Good for You range responds with gelato recipes that offer reduced sugar, lighter formulations, and a more mindful approach to indulgence — all while maintaining the creamy texture, bold flavour, and premium finish MEC3 is known for. Chef Karthik will demonstrate how to use these next-gen bases and ingredients to meet wellness trends without compromising quality.
This session also marks the Australian debut of MEC3’s Meno Meno range — a playful, purpose-built line of pet-friendly gelato crafted especially for pets and their owners. Designed for operators looking to cater to the booming pet-loving market, Meno Meno introduces a fresh, fun way to expand your offering and surprise your customers.
Whether you’re evolving your gelato cabinet for health-conscious customers or looking to delight a brand-new audience on four paws, this session will offer practical insights, product inspiration, and a taste of what’s next in gelato innovation.
