A favorite in Italy for centuries, gelato is the Italian version of ice cream. It differs from other ice creams in several ways. Most ice creams on the market today have from 18-25% butter fat. Our many cream flavors are made with milk and heavy cream and contain only 4-7% fat, and 130-170 calories. The fruit flavors are water based and are made with fresh fruit. They contain no dairy and are less than 1% fat and only 120-160 calories. With significantly less butterfat, the flavor is intensified because fat tends to coat the tongue and block the taste buds.
JavaCat's gelato is made fresh on the premises ... Just like they do in Italy! On any given day, you can choose from eighteen up to twenty-four different flavors. Our staff is always dreaming up new combinations to try. Unlike ice cream, gelato machinery whips almost no air into the gelato, resulting in a dense and extremely flavorful product. This allows even non-dairy gelato to match and sometimes exceed dairy-based gelato or ice cream for taste.
