What is Gelato?

Gelato is a creamy, frozen dessert that originates from Italy in the 1500’s and over the centuries has grown to represent a well-loved and healthier frozen dessert. In Italian, Gelato means "frozen". Similar to American-Style Ice Cream, Gelato is a healthier alternative made with natural ingredients that include milk, cream, sugar and flavoring.
This traditional slow freezing process that incorporates as little air as possible, creates a dense, velvety texture with a creamy mouth feel that expresses wonderfully vibrant flavors with far lower fat content. In contrast, American ice cream is whipped at high speeds with at least 50 percent more air than gelato and contains up to 24 percent butterfat that dampers the delivery of flavors. Gelato’s less air, reduced fat, and higher refrigeration temperature delivers a far superior experience to your palate.

What is Sorbetto?

Sorbetto (also known as Sorbet) is an American term for an even healthier version of Gelato because it is made with water instead of milk. Our Sorbetto is Fat-free, Dairy-free & Vegan and traditionally a fruit-based flavor. In Italy, whether made with water or milk, it is still referred to as Gelato. Sorbetto is served year-round as a refreshing treat, but is a summer favorite for many.
