What is Gelato?
Gelato is most commonly associated with ice cream, but there are three very important differences between the two.
1. Fat
Ice cream generally contains 30-40% butter fat, whereas Gelato has 7% fat, making it much healthier with fewer calories.
2. Air
Ice cream can contain up to 70% air while Gelato has less than 15% air, which makes it much denser and gives it a more concentrated flavor.
3. Temperature
Gelato is served 15 degrees warmer than ice cream, giving it a smooth creamy consistency and does not freeze your taste buds so you can taste more of the flavor.
