We do not start from a catalogue.
We start from
what you want to achieve.
A product can begin with a flavour you cannot find on the market, a technical need, an ingredient, a specific application or the desire to build something that belongs only to your identity.
Custom development does not mean changing a label or format. It means working on formula, structure, flavour profile, dosage, application, target cost and process.

The atelier
We can start
from very little.
And arrive at a product designed for the way you work.
The Sepal method
From the first taste
to your signature.
A sequence of technical decisions, trials and listening. The project moves forward when every step is verified.
TELL US YOUR IDEA
We start from what you want to achieve, not from what we already have in the catalogue.
WE DESIGN THE FLAVOUR
We translate the idea into balance, structure, ingredients and technical characteristics.
WE DEVELOP THE FORMULATION
The laboratory turns the brief into a first concrete formula.
WE DEFINE PRODUCT AND COSTS
Formula, yield, dosage, application and economic sustainability must work together.
YOU TEST IT IN YOUR LABORATORY
The product is sampled and tested in the real application. If needed, we return to the laboratory and perfect it.
WE PRODUCE IT FOR YOU
When the formula is right, Sepal turns it into a stable, repeatable product ready for production.
Sampling
From our laboratory
to yours.
Once the first formulation is defined, we prepare the sample and entrust it to you. This is when the idea becomes something you can really use, assess and put to the test.
From the sample comes feedback. From feedback comes the final version.
From project to continuity
A custom formula
must stay that way.
When the project requires it, we work with dedicated formulations, NDAs, private label and agreed exclusivity. Once the formula is approved, we standardise it so it can be produced with stability, repeatability and continuity.

Custom premixes and gelato formulations.
Sepal develops and produces custom premixes and formulations for artisan gelato. Product development can start with an existing recipe, an ingredient, a technical requirement, your production process or the result you want to achieve.
Custom development can include formulation, application testing, sampling, optimisation of dosage and process, target cost definition, standardisation and production.
Where the project calls for it, Sepal works with dedicated formulations, NDAs, private label gelato ingredients and agreed exclusivity.
Questions about custom development.
Does Sepal develop custom gelato premixes?
Yes. Sepal develops custom premixes and formulations for artisan gelato around the technical, production and commercial requirements of each project.
Can we start from an existing recipe?
Yes. Your current recipe can be the starting point. Development can address structure, dosage, process, ingredients, repeatability and economic viability, with the desired result as the reference.
Can Sepal develop a private label product?
Yes. Sepal can develop private label products and dedicated formulations. Product identity and production conditions are defined according to the project.
Can the project be covered by an NDA?
Yes. Where needed, development can be protected by a non-disclosure agreement and specific conditions relating to the formulation.
How does sampling work?
Once the initial formulation has been defined, Sepal prepares a sample for testing in the real application. Your feedback is used to assess and, where needed, refine the formula before production.
Can Sepal develop formulations for international markets?
Yes. Development can take into account the destination market, how the product will be used, the production process and the objectives agreed with the client.
Can development start from a target cost?
Yes. Target cost can be part of the brief alongside structure, ingredients, dosage, application and process.
