Gelato
Gelato (; ) is the common word in Italian for all kinds of ice cream. In English, it specifically refers to a frozen dessert of Italian origin. Artisanal gelato in Italy generally contains 6%–9% butterfat, which is lower than other styles of frozen dessert. Gelato typically contains 35% air (substantially less than American-style ice cream) and more flavoring than other kinds of frozen desserts, giving it a density and richness that distinguishes it from other ice creams. Name In the Italian language, ''gelato'' is the generic word for ice cream, independent of the style, so every kind of ice cream is referred to as ''gelato'' in Italian. In the English language, however, the word ''gelato'' has come to be used to refer to a specific style of ice cream derived from the Italian artisanal tradition. History In 1295, Marco Polo returned to Venice from China with a recipe similar to sorbet. Cosimo Ruggeri, Bernardo Buontalenti, and Catherine de' Medici were contem ...
