About
Carmela Ice Cream makes seasonal ice creams completely from scratch in small batches using fresh, real ingredients.
Founded in 2007 by Jessica Mortarotti, Carmela has been a pioneer in farm-to-table artisan ice cream and is known for profiling seasonal and local California produce in our award-winning flavors.
Today Carmela has two locations - our Pasadena creamery and our boutique in Palm Springs.
Our catering services in southern California have become a go-to for those who want to bring a refined and delicious element to their parties and events.
