Traditional Italian Gelato

Cultural Context

Gelato, originating from Italy, is a beloved frozen dessert known for its dense and creamy texture. Traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, and egg yolks, gelato is churned at a slower speed than ice cream, resulting in less air and a richer flavor. In Italy, gelato is often enjoyed as a daily treat, and each region boasts its own unique flavors. Today, gelato has gained international popularity, inspiring countless variations and artisanal shops around the world.
