When summer arrives in all its sun-soaked glory, there’s one thing on everyone’s mind: dessert. But not just any dessert. We’re talking about velvety, flavour-packed Italian gelato — the kind that’s smoother than your jazz playlist and cooler than your best outfit. Whether you’re lounging at home in Kolkata or stepping out for a sweet fix, there’s no denying it: gelato is the ultimate summer treat.
But First… What Makes Gelato So Special?
If you’ve ever wondered about the gelato vs ice cream debate, here’s the scoop, pun very much intended. While both are undeniably delicious, gelato is churned more slowly than traditional ice cream, making it denser, creamier, and more flavourful. It’s also served at a slightly warmer temperature, which means it melts in your mouth.
Another perk? Gelato generally contains less fat than ice cream, so every bite feels indulgent without being heavy. It’s the kind of treat that leaves you refreshed instead of full, perfect for sweltering Kolkata summers.
The Rise of Summer Gelato Culture
There’s something timeless and joyful about cooling off with a cup (or cone) of your favourite summer gelato flavours. Think tangy Sicily Lemon, luscious Alphonso Mango, or rich Dutch Chocolate that melts just right under the sun.
