Facts About Gelato:
- Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream and can be directly translated as ‘Frozen’
- A common misconception is that Gelato contains gelatine, this is not the case, the basic ingredients are sugar, cream, milk and sometimes egg yolk.
- Creaminess: Gelato is creamier, smoother and silkier, as well as denser and more elastic and fluid, than ice cream.
- Butterfat, air and flavour: Ice cream contains at least 10 percent butterfat and usually has between 14 and 25 percent. Meanwhile, Italian gelato includes only about 9 percent fat. Yet gelato also contains less air than ice cream — that helps keep it dense, fluid and creamy. And having less butterfat to coat your palate allows the flavours to emerge more.
- Temperature: Another flavour enhancer: Italian gelato is served warmer than ice cream so your mouth is less numb and better able to taste it.
- Gelato is a premium product with no artificial enhancers or preservatives.
Facts About Sorbet:
- Sorbet is a type of Gelato which is 100% fat free, the basic ingredients are sugar, water and fruit.
- The majority of Sorbet’s are fruit flavours as the addition of milk/cream reduces the taste of the fruit.
- Sorbet is vegan, it can be enjoyed by people who are lactose intolerant and those on a no fat diet.
- High quality Sorbet is just as creamy, smooth and dense as Gelato.
- Italian Sorbet uses only fresh fruit, no artificial flavorings, coloring’s or paste.
