Our story & craft
A family name.A craft.
Ralph & Roxy's is the work of one ice cream maker, carried by a family. Trained in Bologna, made in Belgium, built to deliver to partners who can't afford a second chance.
The founder
From a garage in Nodebaisto the clouds.
In 2015, Philippe Bogaert begins experimenting with artisanal ice cream in a modest garage in Nodebais. What starts as curiosity about taste, texture and pure ingredients grows into a personal quest for exceptional gelato.
His passion takes him to the Carpigiani Gelato University in Bologna, where he deepens his knowledge of ice cream making. Philippe deliberately chooses craft over an industrial approach: it is not the lowest cost or the highest speed that determines the recipe, but the quality of the ingredients and the taste experience.
In 2025, his craftsmanship is recognised with official certification as an artisan, and the Ralph & Roxy's brand takes shape, named after his children, Ralph and Roxanne. Today, the brand combines a personal approach to taste with the discipline that professional partners require at scale.
From the very first tasting spoons to ice cream on board international flights: our ambition remains the same. Simply making extraordinarily good ice cream.
Read the interview at Vlerick Business School“For me, craft is not about how much ice cream you make, but about how much attention you give to each flavour. Even as we grow, that essence must never be lost.”
The process
From ingredientto cup.
For us, scale is a discipline: reproducing taste, texture and quality, time after time, under real operational conditions.
01
Selection.
Exclusively Belgian milk and cream, complemented by ingredients chosen for their origin, such as Madagascar vanilla and Bronte pistachio.
02
Recipe.
Each flavour balanced individually, following the Italian school.
03
Production.
In batches, in our atelier in Nodebais.
04
Packaging.
Cups with snap-on lids in R&R Cream. A lid rim in the colour of each flavour is being rolled out in phases.
05
Delivery.
An unbroken cold chain, right to your door.
Social impact
Made with care.Together with De Alexianen.
Since late 2025, Ralph & Roxy's has been working with the work centre of Alexianen Zorggroep Tienen. A practical need for careful packaging work has grown into a partnership in which entrepreneurship and social participation reinforce each other.
For our partners, this means: a supplier that fits not only on your dessert menu, but also in your story about social responsibility.

01
What we do together.
Participants take care of several steps in our packaging logistics: labelling ice cream cups and lids, sorting packaging materials, preparing orders and organising stock. Their work is an important link between packaging and production.
02
Why it matters.
These tasks offer meaningful work, structure, collaboration and room to develop skills further, at a pace that suits the participants. The result is tangible: materials prepared in Tienen ultimately travel the world through our partners.
03
What it achieves.
More than 50,000 packaging components have been prepared within the partnership. For Ralph & Roxy's, that means support for a careful logistics process; for the work centre, it means concrete, recognisable tasks.
“It makes the work very tangible and gives a great deal of satisfaction.”
Local & sustainable
Local where we can.The best where we must.
Made in Belgium.
All our gelato is made in our own atelier in Nodebais, Walloon Brabant. Short lines, full control.
Belgian milk and cream.
The base of our ice cream starts close to home. We use exclusively Belgian milk and cream from Belgian cows. That deliberate choice is the foundation of our recipes: pure ingredients, a full, creamy taste and an authentic Belgian identity.
Responsibility in practice.
We use existing packaging stock efficiently and simplify finishing with flavour-coded lid rims. For hospitality, we offer reusable stainless steel containers, among other options. And our partnership with De Alexianen links practical quality with social commitment.
Certified craft. A label for those who master their trade and keep practising it that way.
