What is Gelato?

Gelato derives from freeze or frozen.

It is called gelati in plural form 'Gelato' translated from Italian, means ice cream. But in the United States, in order to call a frozen dessert ice cream, there are certain characteristics and guidelines to follow. For example, to call it Ice Cream the product should have a minimum of 10% butter fat.

Most ice cream on the market has up to 18% butter fat. Our cream flavor Gelato contains from 4-8% fat and our fruit flavors are water-based, containing less than 1% fat.

More about Gelato:

History shows that human beings have strived very hard for many centuries to create the coldest and most refreshing drinks in some of the hottest seasons, simply by using water, flavors and if possible ice or snow.

Charles Panati, the author of the book called "Extra Ordinary Origins of Everyday Things" attributes to the Chinese a four thousand year old recipe, based on well cooked rice mixed with milk and other ingredients buried in snow. Similar methods were used with fruit juice to create cold desserts. Such techniques were not only found in China but throughout the Far East, Middle East and Europe.

Gelato is even mentioned in the Bible according to author Alba Peruzzi, when Isaac offered cold goat’s milk to Abraham and says to him "eat and drink it." Thus according to Biblical record Abraham was the first person to experience "gelato".
