what is gelato?

Gelato is an Italian ice dessert, it comes closest to American Ice Cream. There are three distinct differences. (1) Gelato has a much lower fat content ranging only between 6% and 8% while ice cream has a fat content between 15% and 22%. Gelato’s lowered fat content is due to the use of highest quality fresh milk cream and finest ingredients. Ice cream’s fat is often originated by the use of industrial butter. Less fat in gelato does not diminish its creamy taste at all, it improves it. Gelato has half the fat than ice cream while doubling the richness of its flavor. (2) Gelato is made fresh in small batches using equipment imported from Italy. Such machine allows small quantities of air into the mix, up to 20% of air. Ice cream has up to 100% of air into the mix, called overrun. This means, a gallon of ingredients makes 2 gallons of traditional ice cream while the same quantity of gelato ingredients makes just 1.2 gallons of creamy indulgence. (3) Gelato is held and served at a warmer temperature than ice cream. This translates into a more genuine, delightful and intense flavor burst on your tongue. Gelato is more dense, has the highest quality ingredients, a far richer taste and lower fat content. Come in today to try this sensation!
