One of our favorite restaurants, Amici, has opened another shop – Car Mia Gelateria. They sell Gelato (yum, yum. Our favorite), Affogato, Gelato Cakes (this we really want to try), pastries and cakes.

Gelato, the Italian ice cram, was first created in the 16th century in Florence, Italy when flavored crushed ice and slush0like desserts became popular. This flavorful and milky desserts which was made known to the world by generations and generations of gelato making, is now here for you to enjoy at Cara Mia Gelateria.

So what’s the difference between gelato and regular ice cream/

GELATO:

FAT CONTENT: made with more milk and lesser fat, resulting to a richer and creamier taste not to mention its health advantage.

AIR CONTENT: contains 10% air resulting to denser volume and velvety texture.

TEMPERATURE: kept in warmer temperature of -14 degrees, making it perfectly soft but firm so it can melt in your mouth and its full flavor is enjoyed.

QUANTITY: produced daily in small batches ensuring its freshness.

ICE CREAM:

FAT CONTENT: contains more fat because its main component is cream thus masking its full flavor.

AIR CONTENT: composed of up to 50% air cutting the quality in half.

TEMPERATURE: stored in a freezing point of -23 degrees keeping it solidly frozen and hard to scoop.

QUANTITY: made in large batches and kept frozen for long periods of time.
