WHAT IS GELATO?

mec3 australiaGelato is the Italian name for Ice Cream.
There are two types of gelatos:

  • Milk Base Gelato: made with milk, vanilla, chocolate etc.
  • Fruit Base Gelato: (commonly known as sorbet) made with fruit, water and sugar

There is a current worldwide trend towards quality Artisan Italian Gelato!

The world equates quality Gelato to Italian cuisine just as much as pasta or pizza.
Italian Gelato is typically lower in fat than the American ice-cream we compare it to.gelato ice cream Perth

Origin of Gelato

From ancient times, Arabic sherbet or sharbat (sweet snow), was a mixture of snow, honey, and crushed fruit. Some believe that gelato originated in China, some say Mesopotamia or Persia at the Babylonian court.

Today gelato is either milk based, or water based with the milk-based gelato being fairly recently introduced to the market around 1550 in the Medici court in Florence, but it wasn’t until 1686, when the first true gelato shop was opened to the public.
