Gelato vs. Ice Cream: What’s the Difference?

At Three Hills Gelato, we get this question a lot: Is gelato just fancy ice cream? The answer: not at all. While both are creamy, frozen treats, gelato and ice cream differ in texture, flavour, and how they’re made.

Key Differences:

• Ingredients: Gelato uses more milk, less cream, and fewer eggs than ice cream, letting natural flavours shine.

• Texture: Gelato is churned slower, making it denser and silkier. Ice cream is fluffier with more air.

• Serving Temperature: Gelato is served slightly warmer, enhancing taste and creaminess.

• Flavour: Lower fat in gelato means bold, vibrant flavours hit your taste buds immediately, while ice cream’s richness softens the flavour.

In short, gelato is all about intense, creamy flavour and a luxurious spoonful experience.

Next time you crave a frozen treat, skip the ordinary and savour the authentic taste of gelato. At Three Hills Gelato, every batch is crafted with care to make every bite unforgettable.
