FAQ

Gelato has less fat, less sugar and less air!

Gelato is made with dairy while sorbetto is dairy free; sorbetto is typically made with fruit and water.

The term for the amount of air whipped into ice cream is “overrun.” Typically ice cream contains 80-90% overrun, our gelato and sorbetto have only 30-35% overrun. A lower amount of air getting whipped into our gelato means you end up with a denser final product, resulting in more flavour per bite.

Our plant based gelato gives you the rich creaminess of regular gelato but is 100% dairy free (really, you’d never know). One of our goals at Righteous is to create something for everyone, regardless of allergies. We worked to develop these recipes, using the most simple, clean ingredients we could find, and we couldn’t be happier how they’ve evolved. Our plant based lineup currently includes Peanut Butter & Jam, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Roasted Pistachio and Salted Hazelnut.

We use nothing artificial, ever! Our stabilizer comes from plants and, aside from the natural sugars found in fruit, we use cane sugar to sweeten our gelato and sorbetto.

To us it means better than expected. To be awesome, virtuous, morally right, and most of all, a beacon of amazing moments.

There are many factors, but the simplest answer is we don’t cut corners. We source the best possible ingredients as locally as possible, which costs more, but you can taste the difference. Our pints are made of recyclable plastic as opposed to wax-lined cartons which end up in landfills; these pints cost more. We pay our staff a living wage as opposed to minimum wage, and we donate significantly to our community and causes that matter to us. We are a Certified B Corporation and divert 95% of our waste from landfills. When you purchase a pint of Righteous, you are purchasing far more than just an amazing dessert; you’re supporting a company that cares about and supports their employees, the environment and our community.

That’s right! Our full team takes a lunch break together everyday, with a hot, home cooked meal. You even get to choose the menu on your birthday!

Our pints are made from PET level 1 and 2 plastics which are the most widely recycled plastics in the world and are BPA and phthalate free. 

We do our best to invest in our community whenever we can, and put priority on causes that align with our three Giving Gang pillars: reducing poverty, ending domestic violence and providing opportunities for our next generation, being the youth of tomorrow. Please fill out our donation request and we’ll see what we can do!
