Gelato display case in a sunlit café.

FCO · Rome · DD 102

Gelato, made the slow way.

Dense, smooth and served a few degrees warmer than ice cream, so the flavor arrives first.

The science, briefly

Why gelato tastes different.

  1. 01

    Less air

    Gelato is churned slowly, so less air is folded in. Every spoonful is denser and silkier.

  2. 02

    Less cream

    More milk and less cream than ice cream, so less fat coats the tongue and more flavor comes through.

  3. 03

    A warmer serve

    Served a few degrees warmer than ice cream, so it stays soft and the flavor arrives first.
