When it comes to desserts, few things are

能像冰涼的點心一樣，受到大家喜愛。

Whether you're enjoying a cone on a hot summer day

無論是炎熱的夏日裡，你手上拿著一支冰淇淋甜筒

還是經過漫長的一週後，從冰箱裡拿出了一品脫

ice cream is one of those comforts people can't resist.

冰淇淋就是那種讓人無法抗拒的療癒食物。

another cold star has been stealing attention:

另一個冰涼的明星也開始搶佔大家的目光：

You've probably seen it in specialty shops,

And maybe even wondered, isn't this just fancy ice cream?

你可能也曾納悶，這不就是高級版的冰淇淋嗎？

While ice cream and gelato may look similar,

雖然冰淇淋和Gelato看起來很像，

Their differences lie in history, ingredients,

Let's dive into what makes them distinct,

我們就來深入瞭解一下，是什麼讓它們如此不同，

has a long and somewhat scattered history.

有著一段悠久且有些零散的歷史。

Persia, and even Rome enjoyed icy desserts flavored

波斯，甚至羅馬的人們就已經享用冰鎮甜點，

But the ice cream we recognize today really took shape

但我們今天認識的冰淇淋，真正成形

and England during the 16th and 17th centuries.

it was already a favorite treat of the wealthy.

Fast forward and industrialization made ice cream widely available

時光飛逝，工業化讓冰淇淋普及

Gelato, on the other hand, has its home firmly

The word gelato literally means frozen in Italian,

Gelato 這個字在義大利文裡，字面意思是「冷凍」，

but the product itself has deeper cultural roots.

但這個產品本身有著更深厚的文化根源。

義大利 Gelato 的起源據說可以追溯到

with a man named Bernardo Buntalenti often credited

一位名叫 Bernardo Buntalenti 的人常被認為

for perfecting the art in Florence in the 1500s.

在 1500 年代的佛羅倫斯完善了這門藝術。

Gelato has always been tied to Italian craftsmanship,

Gelato 一直與義大利的工藝緊密相連，

something artisanal, rooted in tradition and made

是一種手工製作、根植於傳統，

並且是為了細細品嚐而非大量生產的。

While it has gained popularity worldwide,

in Italy, gelato is still considered a staple

但在義大利，Gelato 仍被視為主食

Now let's break down the core differences.

現在我們就來仔細看看主要的差異。

Both ice cream and gelato use the same base-building blocks,

冰淇淋和 Gelato 都使用相同的基底，

也就是牛奶、奶油、糖和調味劑。

但比例的調整卻能帶來一切不同。

Ice cream typically contains a higher amount

This gives it that rich, custard-like taste we're familiar with.

這造就了我們熟悉的濃鬱蛋奶糊般的口感喔。

Ice cream's fat content usually ranges between 10 to 20%,

冰淇淋的脂肪含量通常在 10% 到 20% 之間，

which means flavors aren't muted by creaminess.

這表示味道不會被奶油感給蓋過。

So you often taste the ingredients more directly,

所以你常常能更直接地品嚐到食材的原味，

like pistachio that actually tastes like pistachio,

像是開心果吃起來就像真的開心果，

or strawberry that tastes like fresh fruit.

或是草莓吃起來就像新鮮水果。

it's not always the lighter option people assume.

它不一定總是比較輕盈的選擇。

大家會覺得兩者都可以盡情享用，

都不是那種可以毫無罪惡感的零食。

Another major difference lies in texture,

and this comes down to how each treat is churned.

這就跟每種甜點的攪拌方式有關。

which incorporates more air into the mixture.

這樣會讓更多空氣混入混合物中。

This process, known as overrun, makes ice cream lighter,

這個過程稱為「膨脹率」，讓冰淇淋更輕盈、

In fact, ice cream can contain up to 50% air.

事實上，冰淇淋的空氣含量可能高達 50%。

Gelato, on the other hand, is churned much more slowly.

Gelato 則是以慢得多的速度攪拌，

造就了更濃鬱、更滑順的口感。

That's why when you take a spoonful of gelato,

這也是為什麼當你舀一勺 Gelato 時，

it feels richer and smoother on your tongue,

在舌尖上會感覺更濃鬱、更滑順，

even though it has less fat than ice cream.

即使它的脂肪含量比冰淇淋低。

Temperature is another subtle but important difference.

溫度是另一個細微但重要的差異。

冰淇淋通常會以較冷的溫度供應，
