Key Ingredients: The Building Blocks of Greatness

What are the ingredients in gelato? At the heart of it lies a simple yet iconic lineup: milk, sugar, and egg yolks. These ingredients don’t just show up – they show off. Milk brings the creaminess, sugar balances the sweetness, and egg yolks? They’re the secret to that luxuriously smooth texture.

But here’s the real MVP: flavorings. We’re talking vanilla beans, real hazelnuts, and juicy fruits enhanced by Mamma Anita’s legendary jams and marmalades. The difference? It’s all in the authenticity. Because when it’s real, it’s unforgettable – just like gelato should be.

More Than Just the Ingredients: It's the Process, Too

Here’s the scoop (pun absolutely intended): gelato is all about balance. It’s churned slower, with less air whipped in, giving it that dense, velvety texture we all know and love. Add fewer preservatives and a commitment to crafting every batch on-site, and you’ve got yourself a frozen masterpiece. Don’t believe us? Head to a gelato store near you and see for yourself!
