CUSTOM & OEM GELATO

BESPOKE FLAVORS. WHITE-LABEL PRODUCTION
You bring the idea or the brand. We handle the craft. Gelato Wholesale Collective develops bespoke gelato flavors and produces full OEM / white-label gelato lines for F&B businesses, retailers and brand owners in Singapore — halal-friendly, fresh-to-order, and completely confidential.
Custom flavours
or full white-label — pick your route.
01 / YOUR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY
Some clients come to us with a flavour idea and want us to develop it. Others want their own gelato line, packed under their own brand. We do both, and we've built our process around whichever route fits your business.
Custom flavour development. You have a concept — a flavour you can't find elsewhere, or a menu signature that needs to be uniquely yours. We develop it, refine it with you, and produce it in the formats your kitchen uses. Your recipe stays confidential.
OEM / white-label production. You have a brand — retail, hospitality, corporate gifting, or export — and you want gelato you can sell under your own name. We produce, pack, and seal a full white-label line to your specs, ready for your shelves or your listing.
HOW WE DEVELOP YOUR GELATO.
02 / WE TRY HARD FOR YOU
1. Brief
You tell us what you're trying to make — a flavour, a positioning, a target price, a format. The more you share, the sharper we can aim. If you don't know what you want, we can help shape it.
2. R&D.
Our team develops the recipe — sourcing ingredients, balancing the base, testing texture and stability. This is where our decade of gelato experience earns its keep: we've seen what works, what doesn't,
3. Sampling.
You taste. You feed back. We adjust. Most bespoke recipes go through two to three rounds of sampling before landing. Typical R&D timeline: 1–2 weeks for a fully bespoke flavour; shorter for tweaks to existing bases.
4. Production & supply. Once you sign off, we produce in your chosen formats — scooping tubs, retail cups, pints, or bespoke packaging for OEM. Halal-friendly throughout. Batch-labelled, traceable, and consistent
03 / REAL CUSTOMIZATION CASE STUDIES
HOW WE WORK
RECENT EXAMPLES.
-
A Singapore dessert concept came to us with a brief that most suppliers would politely decline: a seasonal flavor — savory truffle mushroom and cheese gelato. Here's how our R&D team approached it:
The truffle base. We tested several truffle mushroom varieties before settling on the one that held its aroma through freezing, then paired it with a truffle oil infusion for depth. Real mushroom for texture, oil for that unmistakable truffle nose that survives the cold.
The cheese layer. We melted Philadelphia cream cheese into the base for a creamy, sweet backbone, then folded through shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese for sharpness and bite. Two cheeses doing different jobs — brie for smoothness, cheddar for character.
The balance. Savory gelato lives or dies on sugar and salt levels. We reworked the recipe balance until the flavour read as dessert-savory, not confused. That's the part that takes time — and the part clients don't have to think about.
The result. A flavour no one else in Singapore is making, in production and on the client's menu.
-
A confectionery client came to us with a clear brief: their own-brand chocolate gelato, packed under their label, but the chocolate had to be right.
The chocolate hunt — we sampled multiple cocoas and couvertures before landing on the pairing that gave depth without going bitter.
The formulation — we balanced dairy, cocoa fat and sugar until the gelato was dense, glossy, and lingered on the palate the way great chocolate should.
The packaging — produced under their brand, in the tub format they wanted for their retail line.
Their name stays with them. The chocolate gelato is on the shelf.

Custom & OEM FAQs
06 / COMMON QUESTIONS ON OEM
-
GWC's R&D timeline depends on how custom you go — a tweak to an existing flavour can be ready in a day or two, while a fully bespoke recipe developed from scratch typically takes 1–2 weeks, including sampling and rounds of refinement.
-
Yes. Any recipe GWC develops for you stays yours — we keep custom and OEM formulations strictly confidential and don't sell, share or reuse them with other clients. Happy to put this in writing with an NDA.

Yes — depending on the scope and commercial arrangement, GWC can transfer recipe ownership to you. We'll structure it in the contract so it's clear from day one.

GWC produces to packaging you supply, or works with your packaging partner. We can recommend packaging suppliers we've worked with, but we're not a design agency — we're the makers.
