In Italian, “gelato” is the word for “ice cream” in general. Most Italian ice cream, however, is made in a certain style—so when stateside treat-seekers are referring to gelato, they are typically talking about an Italian-style ice cream. An ice cream that’s intensely creamy, yet surprisingly refreshing. An ice cream that’s wondrously light, yet velvety and dense. An ice cream like Trader Joe’s Strawberries & Cream Gelato. Like all the greatest gelato, TJ’s Strawberries & Cream Gelato is made (in Italy!) with more milk than cream, whereas American-style ice cream is typically made with more cream than milk. This lower butterfat content gives the Gelato a light, refreshing quality and allows its bright Strawberries & Cream flavor — courtesy of strawberry purée, candied strawberry pieces, and actual vanilla bean specks — to really shine through. And while you might assume that less butterfat would yield a less creamy result… you’d be wrong if you did. Per the Italian tradition (did we mention it’s made in Italy?), this Gelato also holds less air than American-style ice cream, so it still offers that smooth, creamy mouthfeel you crave.
