Gelato vs Ice Cream
Gelato is made using a slow churn process which whips less air into the custard (< 20%). This in turn gives gelato a denser texture and richer flavor. Ice cream on the other hand has 50+% more air whipped into it, giving it a light fluffy texture.
Gelato has a less fat (4-8%) by using more whole milk and less cream vs ice cream (10-18%).
Gelato is served at a slightly higher temperature (-13 degrees Celsius) which provides for a smoother texture than ice cream (-20 degrees Celsius)
