One gelato a day, goes a long way!
Fancy a gelato?
Gelato is the Italian term for ‘ice cream’, but there’s definitely more to it than meets the eye. The main difference between the two is that gelato has less fat and less air churned in the freezing process – resulting in a richer and creamier texture that you just don’t get in your average scoop of ice cream. Either way, we love them both equally!
