There's a gelato counter in Dubai Marina Mall on the ground floor near Cafe Nero and Starbucks and they do the most amazing Straciatella flavour. Forgot the name though.

I thought the final point was fairly pointless too Custard Apple and would imagine that some gelato is made with just as much rubbish as some ice cream. I'd guess, product advertising aside, the first two points are probably the most salient when it comes to the differences between the two. Glad to hear you got your gelato sk686! DH reckons enjoying gelato is better than *** incidentally the guys in Barsha will do any flavour you want, minimum 2KG order, so we're going to order up some Green Tea flavour

I was wondering that too dentro so I checked. This is off the Bacio website. GELATO VS ICE CREAM The difference between regular ice cream and gelato can be summarized in the following points: Ice creams have a higher content of butterfat ranging between 10% to 18%. Gelato is made with whole milk which is 3% to 4% butterfat. Ice creams have a higher percentage of air. Gelato has less than 55% air, which makes it denser with a much stronger taste. Much of the gelato experience comes from its semi-frozen consistency. In gelato, mainly fresh ingredients are used, unlike ice cream which depends on colorants, stabilizers, and preservatives Leaving aside that this is promotional copy from a commercial website, I'd still see the distinctions this makes as the difference between good and bad icecream. I sat and ate a wonderful icecream last week, with a vew of the cows who were part-responsible for it - and it certainly didn't have any colourants or preservatives - and it definitely wasn't 'gelato', because I was in Cornwall, not Rome! You can't compare a Mr Whippy with a Flake (divine though those can be at the right moment!) with something artisan, made from heritage-variety cows' milk.

Hi, There is a great gelato shop just behind Mall of the Emirates. It sells lots of different flavours. Its on the corner of the road you take to go to the Lulu centre. It has small trees outside. I am sure you will find it. Give it a try, its really great.
