Is Gelato the same as Ice Cream? What's The Difference?

Gelato and Ice Cream look and taste similar, but they are actually different products! Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream derived from the Latin word gelātus, which means 'frozen'. Gelato usually has a butterfat content of around 4 to 9 percent, considerably lower than ice cream. Gelato is lower in fat because it contains less cream and more milk, and is churned slower resulting in less air and a richer flavour.

Is Gelato the same as Ice Cream? What's The Difference?

Gelato and Ice Cream look and taste similar, but they are actually different products! Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream derived from the Latin word gelātus, which means 'frozen'. Gelato usually has a butterfat content of around 4 to 9 percent, considerably lower than ice cream, which means the main flavour ingredient really shines through. Gelato is lower in fat because it contains less cream and more milk, and is churned slower resulting in less air and a denser richer flavour.

Your stuff tastes too good... what's in it?

We use the ingredients from famed regions and the freshest local produce. Absolutely no premixes, artificial flavourings and colourings, or shortcuts!

What is Sorbet?

Sorbet is a frozen dessert made up of just fruit purée (or fruit juice, like lemon juice) and sweetener (commonly sugar, simple syrup, or liqueur). Sorbet is dairy-free and suitable for vegans! Sorbet was originally used as a palate cleanser between courses of large meals, and its first use as a dessert came about in French cafes in the seventeenth century. Sorbet is traditionally served at similar warmer temperatures to gelato to keep it soft enough to eat. Warmer temperatures mean its flavour comes across much richer than ice cream.

How do I store gelato at home?

Our artisanal gelato is made without preservatives or emulsifiers, so one cannot expect the same shelf life of regular ice cream. However, you can prolong storage with these tips!

Keep your gelato or ice cream in your freezer at a steady temperature at all time. The lower the temperature the longer it will last.
Store the gelato at the back portion of your freezer. Whenever you open the door of your freezer, you are letting warm air in. This causes the gelato to melt and refreeze, causing ice crystals to form and ruin the texture.
Do not let the gelato melt on your countertop (or don't wait too long), just scoop what you need right out of the freezer then place it right back in there. You'll need a strong, metal scooper for this!

How do I serve gelato at home?

Did you know that gelato is typically served at a warmer temperature than ice cream? The warmer it gets, the more flavourful and creamier it tastes. It’s always hard to wait, but the closer you can bring your scoop of gelato to the ideal serving temperature of -10ºC, the better your experience will be.

When will the item I want be back in stock?

We churn fresh gelato and sorbet several times a week. You can check back in a couple of days if the item you want is out of stock.

What is your 'Limited Edition' range?

This is when inspiration strikes and we release a limited run of a special gelato or sorbet. We usually only make ONE batch of these, so once the particular item is sold out, it's gone!
