Just as there are at-home machines for pouring fresh, single servings of coffee, wine and juice, Barry Callebaut is teaming up with Solo Gelato to create a Nespresso-style capsule system for fresh ice cream.
As part of Barry Callebaut's MassChallenge, Solo Gelato developed a prototype Solo Gelato machine that boasts the ability to make ice cream in a matter of minutes, as compared to the hours it usually takes. As part of its explorations, Solo Gelato has found that Barry Callebaut’s Chocogelato mixes could be used in the capsules.
Inspired by the popularity of the Nespresso system, innovators within the beverage category created the D-Vine system for wine and Juicero for cold-pressed juice, although there is ample space for food to be explored in the same way.
