Gelato vs Ice Cream: What’s the Difference?

Posted on September 6, 2007

While traditional American-style ice cream can have anywhere from 13% - 17% fat, our gelato has a fat content that ranges between 8% - 10%. The difference is that gelato is made with milk rather than cream. A small cup of our most basic flavor, Fior di Latte, has approximately the calorie equivalent of a banana or a tall glass of milk. The second difference between gelato and ice cream is its air content. Air gets whipped into ice cream as it churns much in the same way cream becomes whipped cream. Gelato, however, because it is made with milk rather than cream, does not expand. The high density of gelato allows for a higher intensity of flavor per bite. For this reason, high quality but subtle flavors like hazelnut and tiramisu are available to you in gelato but not in ice cream. To put it simply, gelato is healthier, tastier and creamier.
