Oh my god do I love gelato. Now that it is getting warmer, there are gelato places open all over the place here in Italy. You know how I feel about ice cream and gelato is a subtype of ice cream in my book (my favorite subtype). I am lucky enough to not only be surrounded by gelato currently but live near a terrific gelato place back home as well.
If you've never had gelato, it is usually explained as a softer version of ice cream and made in a different way but I have never really been able to explain what makes it so different and so much better. It is creamier somehow and the flavor is more intense but still subtle. Also, there are so many different flavors. There are two types of gelato, milk-based and fruit-based and I prefer the fruit-based ones. They are usually made fresh from real fruit and they just make me feel less guilty about eating them since they are technically servings of fruit.\
I love looking in at displays or going into gelaterias and looking at the brightly colored gelato all piled high in the case. They usually have lovely displays like the one in the picture above and it just makes everything look so much more appetizing! Oh god now I really want gelato!
