What is gelato?
Italian ice cream, or gelato, is a premium ice cream which
differs from American-style (grocery store) ice cream in three distinct
ways: ingredients, air content and dairy. These differences result in gelato
providing a much richer, creamier taste than ice cream.
Ingredients
Capital Confections gelatos are produced using generous quantities of
the best ingredients. Among our flavors, you will easily recognize the real
vanilla extracts, real fruits and the finest chocolates.

Air Content
Le Grand
gelato has no air content compared to American-style ice cream which has
about 40% air.
From a visual perspective, a 3-gallon
container of a grocery store style ice cream could be melted down providing
the about same quantity of ingredients as found in our 1.5-gallon
containers. The absence of air in our product will provide a more full, rich
flavor than ice cream.
Dairy Product
Our dairy product is a specialized blend of cream and sweetener. In
particular, the higher cream content in gelato contributes to increased
flavor. The overall blend combines to provide a much richer taste and
creamier texture than ice cream.
