gelato has a much higher density than
ice cream. Ice cream is produced by
mixing cream, milk and sugar, then
adding air. Manufacturers add air to
ice cream because it nearly doubles
the quantity of their product. But, it
cuts their quality in half. No air is
added to gelato. The result is a higher
quality dessert with a richer, creamier
taste.
gelato is served 10 to 15 degrees
warmer than ice cream. Because it is
less solidly frozen, Gelato’s taste is
further enhanced as it melts in the
mouth.
