What is Gelato?
jeh - lah - toh
The traditional Gelato process dates back to the
renaissance period when Italian Artisans made the original homemade
ice cream.
Gelato is
made with the finest and freshest ingredients available. The taste
of gelato is more concentrated than the regular ice cream due to
the machines used for its production.
Gelato machines turn
more slowly to achieve a much denser texture and more compact
flavor
Though lower in
fat, usually no more than 6 of 7 percent, each
bite of gelato packs a wallop of sensory stimulation that is second
to none.
American-style ice
cream contains a greater percentage of air and ice,
this creates more volume, but there is less
flavor.
Also heavy ingredients
such as milk, with a butterfat content of 20 to 25 percent, are
added.
This not only makes for a more
fattening end result; it also masks the original flavor.
