Melting Moments, A Gelato Story

Gelato is more than a frozen dessert; it is a living expression of Italian heritage, carrying within its creamy folds the artistry of centuries. Each scoop tells a tale of innovation and devotion, of a culture that takes pride in transforming simple ingredients into an experience that lingers on the palate and in memory.

The roots of gelato reach back to ancient times, when the snow and ice from the mountains were transformed into frozen delicacies reserved for the nobility. These pioneering moments firmly established Italy as the cradle of this exquisite dessert.

Gelato vs Ice-Cream

Gelato is different from ice cream not only in flavour but also in its very composition and craft. Its signature character lies in its smooth, almost velvety mouthfeel and the depth of flavour that bursts forth with every spoonful. According to Naineni Hanumanth Rao, Founder of Roast CCx, “Gelato uses more milk and less cream, incorporates minimal air and is served slightly warmer than ice cream. This makes it denser, silkier and allows flavours to shine. At ROAST, we craft small batches and fresh with slow churning to create a truly premium, indulgent experience.”
