Welcome
to Bertolotti
Desserts
Lower in fat and fuller in
flavor than its American counterpart, gelato (Italian style ice cream)
was first invented in Sicily.
Its first appearance outside of Italy came with
the opening of Cafe Procope in Paris in the 1660's.
Since then gelato has become the predominant style
of ice cream served in Europe and South America.
Of course Bertolotti insisted
that their gelato be made in the original Artigianale-style rather than
the modern industrial style.
Artigianale gelato is richer in both texture and
taste and yet it contains only half the fat content of American ice
creams.
