gelato-making

Gelato-making involves combining fresh ingredients like milk, sugar, and flavorings, then slowly churning the mixture at a slightly warmer temperature than traditional ice cream. This process introduces less air and results in a denser, creamier texture. The slow churning also helps develop more intense flavors, as the ingredients meld thoroughly. The mixture is then cooled and stored in a freezer, where continuous gentle agitation prevents ice crystal formation. Skilled gelato makers balance the ingredients and control the churning process carefully, creating a rich, smooth dessert that highlights fresh, natural flavors with a velvety mouthfeel.
