How Did Gelato Spread Around the World?

The gelato you know and love was, of course, perfected in Italy, although the first mixtures of shaved ice and flavoring were being enjoyed for centuries. The inventor, Bernardo Buontalenti, perfected his recipe for this beloved frozen food in the 14th century.

Gelato, which in Italian means “frozen,” officially made its way to the United States in 1770, when the frozen confection was sold on the streets of the East Coast, namely the sprawling metropolis of New York.

Italian Gelato: The Perfect Treat on A Hot Miami Beach Day!

Want to try something new that is actually better for you than ice cream? As the name would suggest, ice cream is traditionally made with cream, while gelato is manufactured with milk. Many commercially made ice creams are manufactured with artificial flavors and colors.

Gelato makers, including the gelato artisans who handmake the creamy confections at I Scream Gelato, always craft their gelato with fresh ingredients, including fruits, chocolate, and nuts.

From Sarasota, Florida to Los Angeles, California – Gelato Is Popular Across the Country!

Visit almost any town and major street in America, and you will notice gelato shops popping up everywhere. This is because more and more people are beginning to discover the unique flavors and textures of gelato. Gelato is churned at a far slower rate than traditional ice cream. This creates that signature smooth, creamy texture.

Also, gelato is denser than ice cream, so you will feel fuller and faster, which will help you avoid overindulging in this fantastic frozen treat!
