About ROCAMBOLESC
Rocambolesc is the result of a sweet obsession and a touch of creative madness. Jordi Roca, always irreverent and playful, and Ale Rivas, passionate about cooking since childhood, imagined a place where ice creams could be much more than ice creams: little adventures that awaken memories, smiles, and the desire to be surprised. The story begins with a dessert cart from El Celler de Can Roca that we wanted to take out onto the streets of Girona. The regulations didn’t allow it… and so the first Rocambolesc ice cream shop was born, a space to bring this sweet and fantastic universe to life. Our ice creams are born from everything that inspires us: a trip, a landscape, a childhood memory, a sound, an unexpected aroma… Any stimulus can become a Rocambolesc ice cream. And the toppings? They’re our way of completing the game: details that turn each ice cream into a unique experience. Over time, Rocambolesc has built its own personality, always true to freedom, creativity, and fun. Our ice cream shops aim to be a parallel world, a place where adults and children alike can get carried away by fantasy and sweetness. Rocambolesc is fantasy. For children and adults. For anyone who wants to play, dream, and lick their fingers
We thought it would be fun to walk through the streets of Girona offering the desserts of El Celler de Can Roca from the petit four cart. The idea was motivating and brilliant, but we encountered restrictions in the municipal regulations, so we chose to park the petit four cart of in a central establishment in the city of Girona. Our passion for ice cream made us venture into this world, and that’s how Rocambolesc was born. And why Rocambolesc? Its meaning is “extraordinary and unlikely”, we also find "Roca" within the word, we loved it, and that’s how we chose this name for our ice cream shops. We wanted Rocambolesc to evoke a fantasy world for both children and adults, and for this reason we want our customers to be able to feel they’re in another world when they enter any of our ice cream shops. In the initial process of preparation and creation of the ice creams, there was a fun synergy between Jordi Roca’s desserts and the ice creams. Toppings became the perfect alternative for the ice creams to become the full version of the dessert. Over the years, our ice creams have created their own personality and identity, not only inspired by Jordi Roca’s desserts but also by a trip, an aroma, a product, a memory... all of these can become an ice cream. Sharing our passion for ice cream is a dream come true for us, a lovely way to live the sweet world. Bringing sweetness and magic into the world is a wonderful life mission.
