Italian Gelato, anyone?

Do you know what is a Gelato?

Gelato is the Italian word for Ice cream, it is derived from the word congelato which means frozen.
It is different from Ice Cream because of its flavor and texture, it is made of milk too instead of cream. It is also more intense in flavor compared to ice cream.

Gelatos are sold in Italy in shops called "gelaterie". A gelaterie can be considered a paradise for gelato lovers because of its magnificent display of flavorful gelato.

When buying a gelato in Italy, you have two choices, it's either you put them in a cone (cono) or in a paper cup (coppa). Some Gelaterie in Italy do not have chairs inside their shop, this is because it is meant to be eaten while strolling around the streets of Italy. Oh, by the way, the prices depend on how many scoops you order.

Oh so, Wonderful cones.
