What is gelato? How is it different from American ice cream?
Gelato is lighter than traditional American made factory ice cream. Gelato contains 4-8% butterfat vs 14% for ice cream in the use. Sugar content in gelato is 16-24% and ice cream is 12-16%. It is more expensive because it is more like making home made ice cream vs factory made.

Where did gelato come from? Italy? Not just Italy. Came from Rome and Egypt. Appeared in Florence and then went to France and so on ...
