Quem Somos

Who We Are

In 2016, Eleonora Azzalini left Verona and moved with her family to the island of Palau, in Micronesia. The following year, they opened L'Amarena Gelateria Italiana together — the first and only artisan Italian gelateria in Micronesia. Every day Eleonora was producing from 7 in the morning, crafting over 20 flavours from Italian ingredients and local fruits exclusive to the island. Over the years she developed more than 160 unique flavours — and quickly became known across the Pacific: visitors from Japan, Taiwan, Australia, the United States and China would cross Koror specifically to taste her gelato. For seven years, Eleonora proved that genuine Italian craftsmanship needs no borders. It only needs the right hands — and an absolute refusal to compromise.In 2023, the journey brought us to Lisbon. And now, with DONA NORA, Eleonora finally has the laboratory she always dreamed of — world-class equipment, carefully sourced ingredients, and a fully open kitchen where you can watch every flavour come to life, every single day.

O Laboratório

The Laboratory

Here you can see Eleonora and the team at work every day, weighing ingredients, churning the ice cream, and creating new flavors.

The DONA NORA laboratory was designed to be seen. All production takes place in full view — you can watch every step in real time, from the preparation of the ingredients to the finished gelato ready to serve.

But transparency is not just aesthetic. It is a guarantee. Our high-quality equipment, blast chiller and strict cold chain management ensure that every product is made according to the most rigorous hygiene and food safety standards — from the laboratory to your hands, without compromise.

Because seeing how it's made is the best proof that it's made well.
