Icecare: Coloured Icecream

Fabricação de Gelados e Sorvetes, Lda. is a Portuguese food innovation company dedicated to the development of ice creams and sorbets with enhanced nutritional value, aligned with the promotion of health, wellbeing, and responsible consumption.

Since the start of its production activity in 2017, the company has embedded innovation, research and development (R&D), quality assurance, and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles as core pillars of its business model. From the outset, Gelado Colorido invested significantly in applied research and experimental development prior to industrial scale-up.

This work focused on creating formulations capable of reconciling:

• Respect for traditional ice cream flavours,

• Technological and nutritional innovation, and

• The preservation of organoleptic qualities, including taste, texture, and sensory acceptance.

By combining tradition and innovation in a deliberately ambidextrous approach, IceCare has developed differentiated products supported by scientific validation. Through applied research, the company has introduced new formulations that enable:

• The incorporation of bioactive compounds with potential health benefits, a reduction in total and trans fats, and lower caloric content, without compromising sensory experience

• IceCare illustrates how food innovation can contribute meaningfully to healthier lifestyles while maintaining pleasure, quality, and cultural authenticity.
