Hannah Wood opens Little Lato

There are few people who could consider themselves an ice cream fanatic. Our Founder and gelato crafter – Hannah Wood - just so happens to be one of those people!

When she received a scholarship to study at the Carpigiani Gelato University in Bologna, Italy, she realized her world would never be the same again. That’s where the dream for Little ‘Lato began. Hannah wanted to show New Zealander's the real deal when it comes to gelato – made like it is in Italy. After working at some of the big players in the food industry (such as Fonterra and Much Moore Kiwi Ice Cream Company), she decided to leave the corporate world and turn the gelato dream into a reality.
