Gelato is Italy’s version of ice cream. It literally means "frozen." It's been around in Italy since the late 1500s and is now being discovered in America. American ice cream is actually a poor relation of gelato!
There are some major differences between gelato and ice cream. ice cream and gelato by Gelato Gal also serving espresso drinks and desserts

First, by law, ice cream must have at least 10% fat and typically runs between 18% and 26%. Our gelato is 93% fat-free. However, less fat does not mean less taste. Fat coats the mouth and saturates the taste buds thereby cutting down on your ability to taste.
Also, gelato is served slightly warmer than ice cream. Ice cream is served at about -5 Fahrenheit while gelato is served at 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Because it is less solidly frozen it doesn't freeze your taste buds like ice cream. Ice cream and gelato both incorporate air into the mixture as they are frozen. Ice cream is manufactured so that over 50% of its volume is air! On the other hand, very little air is added to gelato (about 25% - 30%) during its freezing process. The result is a higher quality dessert with a smoother, richer, creamier taste. |

Our Gelato consists of two main types: Fruit flavors - also known as Sorbetto and Cream flavors. The Sorbetto originated in southern Italy. Sorbetto is water based and therefore, lactose free and fat-free. Each serving is only 130-160 calories. The cream flavors which are favored in northern Italy are more commonly known as gelato. They are are made with milk from our local dairies. Our gelato has about 7% butterfat. This means a single serving is only 140-180 calories!

In gelato, most artificial flavorings are done away with in preference for real ingredients like nuts, chocolate, fruits, liqueurs – all of which are not overwhelmed by cream. That’s why it’s customary for a good-quality gelato to have a heightened, truer flavor. Our Gelato is all natural and artisan with no artificial flavors or preservative and twice as dense as ice cream. Our Gelato is the way ice cream should taste! italian ice cream rehoboth beach delaware Look for us at 20200 Coastal Highway in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware 302-227-1001
