Portsmouth, New Hampshire: Discover The Gelato Fiasco

Your Questions Answered

What is gelato?
Gelato is an Italian style of ice cream. It is made with milk instead of cream. Our gelato contains milk, sugar, and natural stabilizers. We then add the unique items — ranging from brownie batter to cinnamon — that make each flavor special.

What is the difference between gelato and sorbetto?
Sorbetto is a style of gelato that was originally from the southern part of Italy. It is made without milk and is typically fruit based. Since our sorbetto is made from only fruit, sugar and water, it is fat-free.

What makes your gelato so delicious/as good as Italy’s/better than anyone else?
We use the same techniques that were perfected at the best Italian gelatirias a hundred years ago. Unfortunately, many creators of gelato have replaced these practices with inferior — but faster and cheaper — production methods. Instead of using the flavor pastes made by manufacturers, we use authentic ingredients — like real fruits, nuts, candies, cookies, confections, and whatever else our imaginations call for. Not only does this practice allow us to create more interesting and unique flavors, the flavors themselves taste like the real thing — because they are made from the real thing.
