My name is Robert Čivljaku and I come from the Croatian coastal town of Makarska. In 1999, I moved to the Czech Republic, where I started a new life stage. I studied, worked and gained many years of entrepreneurial experience. Nevertheless, I was still guided by one idea – to create a place where quality, tradition and honest craftsmanship would come first.
For more than 55 years, for three generations, our family has maintained friendly relations with the Italian Morotti family, which has been devoted to the production of traditional artisan gelato for decades. Over the years, I have helped them communicate with Czech dairies and raw material suppliers. Thanks to this, I got to know the entire production process and understood that exceptional gelato comes from quality raw materials, honest work and respect for tradition. For many years I was told, “Robert, it's time to open your own gelateria.”
At their invitation, I underwent a twelve-month professional training in Italy, during which I underwent a complete preparation. I worked side by side with their masters, learning to select the best ingredients, properly balance recipes and create flavor combinations that people remember. The Morotti family has shared with me their know-how, which they have perfected for generations. This is how Gelato Aroma was created – a combination of Italian tradition, Croatian passion and high-quality Czech ingredients.
Our gelato is prepared according to traditional Italian recipes from fresh milk and cream from Czech dairies. Whenever possible, we use carefully selected Czech ingredients and seasonal fruits – especially strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, forest fruits and green apples. We believe that the best taste is created when Italian craftsmanship is combined with quality local ingredients.
Every serving of our gelato is the result of time, experience and love for this craft. We don't use shortcuts or compromise on quality. Our goal is not to produce as much as possible, but to offer every guest a true experience. We believe that the best moments are shared with family, friends and an exceptional gelato.
