Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
What is gelato?

Gelato is an exquisite Italian frozen dessert crafted with more milk than cream, resulting in a silkier texture and more intense flavors than traditional ice cream. Made fresh daily in small batches with premium, natural ingredients, our authentic gelato contains less fat while delivering a richer taste, making it a mindful indulgence you can feel good about sharing with your family.

What is sorbetto?

Sorbetto is a refreshingly pure Italian frozen dessert made from fresh fruit, water, and a touch of natural sweetness, completely free from dairy and eggs. This classic Italian treat is perfect for those seeking a light, vibrant dessert that captures the true essence of ripe fruit while being naturally vegan-friendly and gluten-free.

What is the difference between gelato and ice cream?

Unlike traditional ice cream, authentic gelato is crafted with more milk than cream and churned at a slower speed, creating a luxuriously dense texture with less air and fewer calories. While premium ice cream is delicious, Italian gelato delivers more intense flavors and a silkier mouthfeel, thanks to our artisanal process and carefully sourced ingredients from Italy.
