What is Gelato (jeh LAH toh)?

Gelato is the Italian name for European Style ice cream.  Gelato is a popular alternative to the North American ice cream industry just as the cappuccino/lattes have become a popular alternative in the coffee industry.

Key attributes of fantasia gelati can be described as follows:

             1. Low Overrun:  Overrun is the amount of air incorporated in the manufacturing process.  The process of a quality gelato incorporates a low content of air – that means more product weight – less air. Experts from Italy say an average between 30% to 50% overrun is one key factor in producing quality gelato.   fantasia gelati prides itself as a high quality gelato with low overrun.  Throughout the industry you may find ice cream or gelato that has overrun of over 100%, not to mention you may find overrun as high 140% to 160 %.

             2. Low Butterfat Content:  fantasia gelati has low butterfat! Sorbetti’s are non-dairy gelato products which have zero butterfat.   Typically, super premium ice cream has butterfat that is over 10%; check the nutritional labels and you will be amazed!

    3. Quality Natural Flavours:  fantasia gelati uses natural flavours.  fantasia gelati's  carefully sources its ingredients from reputable quality suppliers which yields exceptional flavours.
