Gelato vs. Ice-Cream – What’s the Difference?

While both gelato and ice-cream are beloved frozen treats, they have distinct differences in texture, ingredients, and preparation. Aurora Foods explains how they compare.

Key Differences Between Gelato & Ice-Cream

1. Ingredients & Fat Content

  • Gelato: More milk, less cream, and lower fat content.
  • Ice-Cream: Higher cream content, often containing egg yolks for richness.

2. Texture & Churning Process

  • Gelato: Slowly churned, making it dense and smooth with less air.
  • Ice-Cream: Whipped with more air, resulting in a lighter, fluffier texture.

3. Serving Temperature

  • Gelato: Served at a slightly warmer temperature, enhancing its intense flavours.
  • Ice-Cream: Stored and served at a colder temperature, making it firmer.

Which One Should You Choose?

  • If you prefer rich, creamy textures, ice-cream is the best option.
  • If you love intense, natural flavours, gelato is the way to go.
