“Gelato†is an ice cream made with milk, eggs, sugar, and fruit, and is Italy's representative dessert. Gelato, which is made daily with fresh ingredients, has a chewy texture and is characterized by its rich flavor and aroma due to its low air content. Instead of artificial sweeteners, gelato has a deeper flavor by adding natural flavoring ingredients such as peaches, oranges, and plums, and nuts such as almonds, pistachios, and pecans. Recently, there are places that serve gelato using ingredients that are difficult to find in ice cream, such as basil, coriander, and rice, adding to the fun of choosing and eating a variety of flavors. The sweetness melts in your mouth on a hot summer day! Here are 5 of the best gelato restaurants.
