Our Passion
To combine their passion for Hawaii and Italian
gelato, Dirk Koeppenkastrop and his wife
Nicole Lueker founded IL Gelato Hawaii in
2010. As a University of Hawaii graduate with
a Ph.D. in physical chemistry and a corporate
food background, Dirk studied at Carpigiani
Gelato University in Bologna, Italy.
Later, he trained and worked with the
“world champions” in Europe.
His background in the natural sciences
allows him to bring gelato making to a
new level. Inspired by Roy Yamaguchi
and Alan Wong, Dirk always wanted to
fuse Hawaiian and Asian flavors with traditional
Italian gelato making.
