LETS TALK ABOUT GELATO

Yum yum! While doing this blog, I am exploring some images on google about this yummy dessert and it makes me crave more. I am a girl who loves sweets and cold desserts especially ice cream. In fact, whenever I go out with my friends, I always end up eating an ice cream but now, aside from this common ice cream that I used to know, another dessert was introduced to me by bitlanders, so I really want to try this awesome dessert :) Come and let's know more about this GELATO.

What is GELATO?

According to the chat bot of sir Micky, In Italian, gelato means "frozen" and refers to a type of soft, densse, low-fat ice cream.

I haven't tried gelato yet, so I decided to make my own research about this to share with you. Overall, I came to think that a Gelato is an Italian term for ice cream, BUT upon reading on how this gelato was made and found out some differences, I found out that these two desserts are really different.

GELATO VS. ICE CREAM

At first, I prefer ice cream than other frozen or cold desserts. Just to give you a little bit information about my country which is Philippines, we are having a long summer or dry season here and because of that Filipinos (people from the Philippines) are very much fascinated in eating cold desserts especially during summer. It is our way to at least lessen the hot feelings during summer season. I love ice cream and I love its different flavors, and I am glad that these variety of flavors are keep on adding, Filipinos are really good in mixing flavors and discovering flavors that are suitable in this mixture of ice cream.

I, myself, already tasted the different flavors of ice cream, well, chocolate is my favorite flavor so far. When the chat bot of sir Micky asked about gelato, I admit that I do not have any idea about that, and when he asked which I prefer between GELATO and ICE CREAM, no doubt, I chose ice cream, BUT when the trivia about gelato was been stated by sir micky, WELL, I PREFER GELATO instead :) I hope to have a chance to try this on my own.

here are the trivia that I learned from the survey chat that was conducted by the chat bot of sir Micky:

According to the survey chats with sir Micky,

• Gelato has less fat
• Gelato uses whole milk, not cream
• Gelato has 50 percent air than ice cream
• Gelato has no artificial flavors or colors
• Gelato is fresher and made in small batches
• Gelato offers allergy free and dairy free options such as sorbet.

From these trivia, I am craving to try this gelato. So, hoping for a yummy frozen desserts taste with this, see the picture below and get ready you money to buy some, if ever gelato is available in your place.

Aside from the composition of GELATO that makes me feel like I really want to try, I found out that GELATO is healthier than ice cream. Oh come on! if only this gelato is available near in my place, I will be a loyal customer of that store, hehe! Here are the other trivia that bitLanders survey chats have provided;

According to the chat bot of sir Micky, when the two frozen desserts are being compared;

• Gelato has half the calories you find in ice cream
• Gelato is gluten-free
• Gelato is healthier. It contains high levels of protein, vitamin B, calcium and phosphorus.
• Gelato has more carbohydrates than ice cream.
• Gelato brings 13-15% of the recommended daily intake of calcium.
• Gelato has less saturated fat than ice cream.

Looks are the same, but in some ingredients one has more and one has lesser. According to the information that I have gathered, these two frozen desserts contain milk and cream but this gelato has relatively less cream and more whole milk and because of this, gelato provide more tasteful than a normal ice cream. Also, it has very low percentage of fat than this ice cream. Gelato are made from nuts and fruits and just like ice cream, it also contains artificial flavors sometimes.

From the survey chat that was conducted by the chat bot of sir Micky, he has mentioned that gelato is healthier than ice cream and the reason for that is because ice cream contains more fat due to the proportion of using eggs and more cream than milk, by these proportion. Gelato has no eggs or sometimes it has eggs but less than ice cream. When it comes to freezing point, Gelato is more complicated than ice cream when it comes to its procedure of making a gelato. This freezing point makes a Gelato more silkier, smooth and dense than ice cream because it is served at low temperature than the ice cream.

Here is the video that will help you understand the differences between an ice cream and a gelato, let's watch the video below.

From the video above, you will see the step by step process on how to make a gelato. Have you noticed that the appearance of gelato and ice cream are almost like the same? and also some of the ingredients are almost like the same BUT these two desserts are having different ingredients PROPORTION, FREEZING POINT and creaminess.

Flavors and the best provider of Gelato.

Now that I found out that Gelato is healthier, I will prefer that than ice cream. Another reason that I want this gelato is because some of the flavors that I want in ice cream are also available in gelato. To be exact, my favorite flavor in ice cream is chocolate and when the survey chat have mentioned the flavors that are available in gelato, yummmm, I want to have one scoop and taste it right after.

Here are some of the flavors that the survey chats have mentioned, check this screen shot of mine,

I am surprised to know this kind of dessert and its different flavors, but survey chats have also introduced the best source of this gelato, the AMORINO.

Aside from the trivia that the bitlanders survey chats provided, this source of this yummy  dessert seems to be the best provider of gelato. Even the survey chats have promoted this brand so I bet, this is the best. Unfortunately, this source is not yet available in Philippines so, yeah, I am still looking forward to taste it.

Cioccolato Amorino

Cioccolato is a term from Italian which means Chocolate. So this Cioccolato Amorino is a chocolate flavored gelato served by Amorino and it is only available to their branches and we can’t find this variety of gelato in other brands. See the picture above to know its composition and the proportion of its element.

My insights

Over all, I have learned that Gelato and ice cream have some differences when it comes to the way it serve, the taste and also the healthy truth behind these two. So, if I have the chance (well, if this gelato will be available in my place) I will surely go for Gelato instead which is a yummy, tasteful and healthy dessert.
