GELATO VS ICE CREAM
- Gelato doesn't contain as much air (referred to as overrun in the industry) as its American counterpart and
is, therefore, more intensely flavored than ice cream.
- Gelato is made fresh daily and is a combination of whole milk, sugar
and natural flavoring.
- Gelato is less firmly frozen and softer than ice cream (gelato is
stored at approximately +7 F degrees as
opposed to ice cream which
is stored at -10 F degrees).
- Gelato is healthier than ice cream since it is made with all natural
ingredients and contains less calories and
less butter fat (0% to 8% fat, as opposed to 16% to 30% fat in most premium ice cream)
Making gelato fresh daily in small batches differs considerably from the
concept of ice cream in the U.S., where
large manufacturing plants produce thousands of gallons of ice cream per batch on an industrial scale.
Mass produced ice cream invariably uses some preservatives to allow it to be stored for very long periods of
time as it travels through traditional distribution channels. Throughout this entire process, as it moves from
manufacturers to wholesalers, to distributors, to retailers, and ultimately to final consumers, the ice cream
ends up being stored for months.
