what is gelato?

Gelato (je-'lah-tO) is the Italian word for ice cream. And yet, it is distinctively different from the ordinary frozen dairy desserts you may be accustomed to.

Gelato contains substantially less fat than American ice cream; it is frozen in a way that allows for much less product air buildup (referred to as overrun), and is served at a slightly higher temperature. Due to this, it tends to release much richer flavor tones than what you're used to tasting in your local traditional ice cream parlor.

As Old Country tradition would have it, Gelato exalts the simple yet sumptuous characteristics of natural ingredients, from wholesome milk to fresh fruits to the best selection of nuts and dried fruits. It is warm to the eyes, cool to the palate, and refreshing to all the senses. Most importantly, it is a high quality, gourmet product, and it's poised to become the next trend in frozen desserts in the United States.

and what about sorbetto?

Sorbetto is a frozen fruit dessert typically made with a sweetener and a fruit puree. Unlike gelato, sorbetto is made vegan, meaning that it contains no animal products, and it tends to be slightly softer. It's usually lower in fat than many other frozen fruit desserts, as it contains no animal products to up the fat content. It is also sometimes seen on menus as sorbet, to distinguish it from gelato. Sorbet is made in an assortment of sweet and savory flavors.
