🍨 What’s the Scoop? The Difference Between Ice Cream and Gelato (and Why You’ll Love Ours!)

Gelato on a Waffle Cone

If you’ve ever taken a bite of smooth, creamy gelato and thought, “This is way better than regular ice cream,” you’re not imagining things. At Cuppa Love, we specialize in locally made gelato that’s crafted with care, creativity, and (you guessed it) love. But what is the difference between gelato and ice cream, anyway? Let’s break it down:

🥶 Gelato vs. Ice Cream: What's the Difference?

1. Less Air, More Flavor Gelato is churned slower than ice cream, meaning less air is whipped into it. The result? A denser, creamier texture that lets the flavors shine through more intensely.

2. Lower Fat, Still Rich Gelato uses more milk and less cream than traditional ice cream—and usually skips the egg yolks. That means it has less fat but still delivers an indulgent taste.

3. Served Warmer Gelato is stored and served at a slightly warmer temperature than ice cream. This makes it softer and silkier—and makes those fresh, local ingredients even more noticeable.

🏡 Locally Made with Love

At Cuppa Love, we believe that food should connect people. That’s why every batch of our gelato is locally made—right here in Salt Lake City, Utah. We use only high-quality ingredients and flavors. From classic vanilla bean to adventurous seasonal swirls, our gelato is more than dessert—it’s a celebration in a cup.
