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.
