What is the difference between gelato and traditional American style ice cream?
Gelato contains less butterfat - 4-8% compared to 10-18% in American style ice cream. Gelato's key ingredients are whole milk, sugar plus flavorings but no or only a little cream; also eggs are not used as much in gelato ice cream making. Gelato is not as frozen in texture when served - it's more of a semi-frozen ice cream and is generally best eaten fresh on the day it's made.

I think there's a few less calories in Gelato, not substantially less but slightly less, and Ice Cream tastes better, IMHO.

Ice cream is delicious. Gelato is kind of weird. It's not as creamy. I've had it twice and I'll pass.
