INSIGHT

Gelato vs. Ice Cream

  • Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream, derived from the Latin "gelatus" meaning frozen.
  • It differs from ice cream in its lower fat content (4-8% vs. 14-16%), less air incorporated during churning, and higher serving temperature.
ADVICE

Spotting High-Quality Gelato

  • Look for "gelato artigianale" for potentially higher quality.
  • Avoid brightly colored gelato, especially unnatural greens, blues, and pinks, as these indicate artificial colors.
ADVICE

Recommended Flavors

  • Try "fior di latte" to taste the pure essence of milk and cream.
  • Explore regional specialties like amarena (sour cherry) or bergamot.
