Features of Gelato

  • Fresh, healthy, low-calorie, and creative, and it is also a classic in ice cream.
  • It is made with natural ingredients, such as nuts, milk, etc.
  • Since it is freshly made, the taste is smoother and softer than traditional ice cream, and of course, it melts faster.
  • Gelato is low-fat, low-sugar, and low-calorie so it is especially popular among women.
  • The Italian government stipulates that the milk fat in gelato cannot exceed 8%, which makes gelato a rather refreshing low-fat dessert.
  • The content of milk and cream is lower than that of American ice cream, and the content of fruit is higher than that of American ice cream.
  • The content of air and fat
    • American ice cream: Stirred at high speed, half of it is air.
    • Italian gelato: Stirred slowly, the air content accounts for about 20% to 35%, so it gives gelato a rather smooth and dense texture, which is very different from American ice cream.
