Splendora's Gelato Coffee Web site: http://www.splendoras.com/ Splendora’s Gelato Cafe is a locally owned and operated gelateria and dessert cafe specializing in authentic, artisanal Italian gelato, Italian espresso drinks, and dessert specialties. What is Gelato?Gelato is Italy’s version of ice cream, and was the first style of ice cream to reach the United States from Europe. Gelato and ice cream share similar ingredients in different proportions and are blended and frozen together differently. Gelato contains much less fat than American ice cream (about half the 14-16% fat by weight found in most super-premium ice creams), and has far less air whipped into the final product. The result is a dense, creamy treat with intense, clean flavor and an incredibly smooth, silky texture. Authentic gelato is made from a short list of simple ingredients: milk, cream, skim-milk powder, dextrose and sugar, and quality flavoring ingredients like ground pistachios, shredded coconut, and pure fruit purees. How does Splendora make Gelato?At Splendora’s we make gelato the way it has been made by families in Italy for hundreds of years. We combine the simplest natural ingredients – whole milk, heavy cream, skim-milk powder, and sugar – to make our base gelato mix. For flavor we add ground nuts, cocoa powder, pure vanilla, spices, and fresh fruit purees. Our sorbettos contain fruit, sugar, and water. Both contain small amounts of naturally derived stabilizers and emulsifiers. No corn syrup, no trans fats, no food coloring, no artificial flavors. Our milk and cream come from a Virginia dairy that uses only milk from dairies that do not feed their cattle growth or production hormones. We blend our flavors by hand and freeze them in small batches. We make gelato almost every day of the week. Good gelato is fresh gelato!
