What the AI looks for in Gelato
- Air content
- Gelato should be noticeably denser than ice cream, so a heavy container for its volume is a good sign Low air content is what gives gelato its silky, intense texture.
- Milk-to-cream ratio
- Look for milk listed before cream Traditional gelato uses more milk and less cream than ice cream, which lets the flavor show through.
- Serving temperature
- Let it soften a few minutes out of the freezer before serving Gelato is meant to be eaten warmer than ice cream and tastes flat and hard when straight from the freezer.
Brands that matter
- Talenti: The most widely available grocery gelato, in reusable jars.
- Häagen-Dazs: Not gelato, but a comparable dense alternative.
What to avoid
- Gelato with a long list of stabilizers and artificial flavors
- Products that are soft or icy on arrival
