Oversimplifying
Gelato as 'Italian ice cream' has been unjustly done too
many times. Gelato is NOT the same as your regular premium
ice cream, which consist of a significant amount of butterfat
while WE are made of MILK or FRUITS, depending on the flavor.
Because of the difference in composition, Gelato
is much LOWER IN FAT than premium ice cream.
Additionally,
contrary to what many would think, Gelato
has a very luscious texture and intense flavor despite its
significantly lower fat content. Try some and you'll
describe it 'smooth, creamy, velvety'. We owe this to ages
of developing and perfecting the special pasteurising process.
Gelato not only bring you zest, it also gives you indulgence. |
Premium
ice cream
- More than 20% fat
Milk Based GELATOS (Chocolate,
Vanilla, Coffee, etc.)
-
Approx. 6-8% fat
Fruit Based GELATOS (Mango,
Lemon, Passion Fruit, etc.)
- Less than 0.2% fat
Gelato
has in recent years become increasingly popular outside
its Italian birthplace, with numerous Gelato parlours popping
up in countries all over the world. With less than half
the fat (and virtually fat free for the fruity flavors)
and all the positives of ice cream (i.e. good taste, creamy
texture, etc.), Gelato has a huge appeal on our progressively
more health conscious society. Particularly among peolple
of Asian background, Gelato has the potential to become
a dessert sweetheart because it doesn't have an overpowering
milky taste and smell like most premium ice cream brands. |
