Gelato is a type of Italian ice cream known for its creamy texture, fresh ingredients, wide variety of flavors, and great taste. It is made in the manner of traditional ice cream, but almost exclusively by hand. Gelato manufacturers add fresh fruits, spices, chocolates, and syrups for flavoring. Ice cream is a concoction of frozen milk and sugar mixed with many of the same ingredients. While ice cream is also sometimes home made or hand made, it is more commonly found from commercial enterprises that produce it industrially. Gelato is best hand-made and fresh everyday, while ice cream may contain more addatives and preservatives to make it last longer in the freezer.
Both ice cream and gelatos are favorites for desserts after a meal. A sundae may be created by combining different kinds of ice cream with flavored syrups, whipped cream, candies, fruits, jams, chocolates, and other ingredients. Ice cream parlors and gelato shops specialize in serving these desserts for eating in store, as in a restaurant or café, taking out, as in a cone or cup of ice cream, and for home consumption. Home consumption is offered by packaging ice cream or gelato in individual packets of one pint or one liter to keep in a home freezer until the dessert is served.
Gelato was initially found across all parts of Italy. From there it spread to shops across Europe and now to other parts of the world. Ice creams have been in existance for 4000 years now and finds its origins with the Greeks and the Romans.
Characteristic of gelato is that it has been hand beaten, stirred or whipped to contain little to no air in the composition. This may differ from commercial ice cream makers that whip ice cream with air bubbles to increase lightness and volume. Some people love gelato for its dense, rich texture and flavor, while others prefer the light and airy ice cream.
Some main manufacturers of Gelato across the world are Pure Gelato, Bene Gelato, and PreGel while major ice cream manufacturers include Breyers, Ben & Jerry’s, Haagen Das, Baskin & Robbins, and Friendly’s.
Both gelato and ice cream may be made at home by stirring milk over time as it freezes and adding other ingredients.
