What is Gelato?
The stories surrounding the creation of gelatos and sorbets throughout history have been sparse and vague. However, one thing seems apparent: every story ends in Italy.
Gelato and sorbet can be traced as far back as 3000 B.C. It is believed that Asian cultures discovered the roots of sorbet in the form of crushed ice and flavoring. Five-hundred years later in Egypt , this same practice was emulated when Pharaohs offered visitors a cup of ice mixed with fruit juices. Early traces of Gelato can even been seen in the Bible, in which Isaac offered Abraham goat milk mixed with snow. As centuries passed, gelato and sorbet were rediscovered by Marco Polo. Historians believe that throughout his travels, Marco Polo adopted these same techniques used by many in the past and brought them back to Italy.
It was the Italians, known for their deep appreciation for fine cuisine, who took the principles of Marco Polo and transformed them into a tasteful and elegant product. In the 1500’s, many noble families used gelato and sorbet to cleanse their palates between courses. Gelato was also used as an after-dinner indulgence. By the early 1600’s, crushed ice mixed with fruit was sold in every public square in Italy , allowing the trend to spread throughout the country.

Unable to control our cravings, we would sneak out at night just to have another taste.
Upon returning to the states, we could not stop thinking about the cool taste and flavor of gelato. Looking to satisfy our cravings, we tried every American ice cream on the market. Nothing seemed to come close to gelato. As our search continued, it seemed that our only option would be to take another trip to Italy.
Finally, we began to research companies that offered ingredients to make gelato. While doing so, we were able to locate a company that imports their ingredients directly from Italy to make authentic gelato. Due to pure curiosity, we set up an appointment to tour their facility, see what they had to offer, and enroll in their Gelato University. After many hours anxiously studying and learning, it was time to make our first batch of gelato. Upon our first taste, we were transported back to Italy. Finally, our overwhelming desire for the gelato was satisfied. After three days of making and creating authentic Italian gelato, we realized that this was a secret that we needed to share
