Day Two of our course is over and we've already seen (and, if we're being honest, snuck tastes of) some pretty amazing gelato!

GPI America has taught countless students for many years, but watching Gianluigi in action truly never gets old. He is a great teacher and we always like to extend a big thank you to him for sharing his knowledge with others.

We are very excited for tomorrow, when we will finalize our flavors and learn how to turn gelato into profitable products!
