What is gelato?

Italian ice cream, or gelato, is a premium ice cream which differs from American-style (grocery store) ice cream in three distinct ways: ingredients, air content and dairy. These differences result in gelato providing a much richer, creamier taste than ice cream.

The Latest Scoop gelatos and sorbettos are produced using generous quantities of the best ingredients. Among our flavors, you will easily recognize the real vanilla extracts, real fruits and the finest chocolates.

The Latest Scoop gelato has no air content compared to American-style ice cream which has about 40% air. From a visual perspective, a 3-gallon container of a grocery store style ice cream could be melted down providing the about same quantity of ingredients as found in our 1.5-gallon containers. The absence of air in our product will provide a more full, rich flavor than ice cream.

Our dairy product is a specialized blend of cream and sweetener. In particular, the higher cream content in gelato contributes to increased flavor. The overall blend combines to provide a much richer taste and creamier texture than ice cream.
