Welcome to Charlies Gelato Garden!
CHARLIES GELATO GARDEN Something entirely new for our May special = Gnarlie Charlies. A slice of vanilla or chocolate gelato between two biscuits (the biscuits in the picture are Snickerdoodle or Chocolate Charlie's). Great as a treat at the shop or to take home and have for an after dinner special snack!  From Sunday May 5th we will be on winter hours. This means we are open Friday to Sunday 10am-4pm and closed during the week (Monday-Thursday). If urgent gelato order required then please text or phone me on 021 1508820. Thanks everyone who came and tried out our wood fired pizza over summer. it was a great success and come November next summer we will start up again. People have been asking us to keep going with the pizza but the oven site is quite exposed to the weather for our pizza makers and we don't have a lot of indoor seating so we will keep with the concept of summer pizza and sunny days! If you want to contact us please email charlie@charliesgelato.co.nz or phone us at the shop on 09 422 7942. We have been growing and selling fresh produce from our Matakana property since 1992. The emphasis has always been on providing the freshest possible produce to the local community from our road side stall in Sharp Rd. Each year when the ‘open flag goes up’ at the gate locals return to buy the freshest and tastiest strawberries and grapes. Visit us for:
We are happy to put together special orders or put aside fruit for you to pick up later in the day. Charlie Wrigglesworth and Heather King
Gelato comes to Matakana...Inspired by a trip to Italy where gelato ice-cream is a part of every day life, November 2007 saw the expansion of the gate sales into a purpose built shop with commercial kitchen. From here we sell our fruit and gelato.
Gelato is just like ice cream, only denser and thicker – with more flavour, less fat and less air than normal icecream. We make our gelato and sorbettos daily in small batches to keep the fresh taste and high quality. We like to use seasonal fruit either grown on the property or sourced locally. Charlies Gelato Garden is modelled on a ‘gelateria artiginale’ where the gelato is made fresh each day from the best available ingredients. |
