Gelato Lab

Ingredient database, recipe balance calculator & cost comparison.

Recipes

Compares ingredients by cost per gram of the nutrient that actually matters — not just sticker price. The green highlight marks the cheapest option per column, within the ingredients shown.

These are commonly used gelato-balance starting ranges — not a certified spec. Adjust them to match your own tasting results and house style. Each recipe picks one profile in its header.

Manufacturing Cost Elements

List whichever indirect costs apply to your production — rental, labour, electricity, water, maintenance, or anything else. Leave any item at 0 if it doesn't apply to you yet. These roll up automatically into one rate used across every recipe.

Monthly production volume

Leave at 0 if you're not ready to estimate this yet — manufacturing cost will just show as RM0 until you do.

Why itemize instead of one flat number

Breaking it down keeps it transparent — you (or your accountant) can see exactly what's driving the rate, adjust one piece without guessing at the whole number, and leave anything not yet applicable at 0. If rent, electricity, or labour genuinely can't be traced to one specific flavour (shared kitchen, mixed staff duties, etc.), spreading it evenly this way is standard cost-accounting practice for indirect manufacturing costs.
