Gelato, which is Italian ice cream, is made from milk, sugar, and other flavorings. American ice cream is typically made from cream, rather than milk. Thus, American-style ice cream is about 10-18% butterfat, while Italian gelato is 4-8% butterfat. The gelato ingredients, which may or may not be pasteurized, are cooled as they are being mixed together. Due to the nature of the mixing, gelato typically has less than 35% air. In contract, American ice cream is often 55% air or higher. Therefore, gelato is much more dense and flavorful.

Gelato is traditionally made with fresh fruit, milk, and sugar. Other ingredients, such as chocolate, nuts, caramel, candies, cookies, and even flowers have been added. Gelato that is made with water instead of milk is called sorbetto. Gelato is preferred in northern Italy, while sorbetto is eaten in the hotter climates of southern Italy and Sicily.

For both home and commercial gelato production, one may make all ingredients from scratch. However, it is more convenient and cost-efficient to buy prepared gelato ingredients. Fruit, nut, flavor, and chocolate ingredients are available as ready-to-use pastes. There are gelato and sorbetto bases too. Commercial gelato ingredients may even contain milk and sugar substitutes, such as soy milk or aspartame.

Gelato making and serving requires a few accessories. There are gelato spatula, cups, gelato spoons, and containers.

Special spatula are required for serving gelato, whether at your home or gelato shop. Unlike ice cream, gelato is not homogenized, and so the product melts faster. A regular ice cream scooper will not hold the softer gelato in a uniform consistency. A spatula, on the other hand, will maintain the gelato in a good serving size.

If you are planning on selling gelato commercially, you will also need serving cups and spoons. The serving cups are usually provided in three sizes and in a wide variety of colors. Spoons, whether for eating with or just tasting, also come in a wide variety of colors. Both the serving cups and spoons are made of plastic.

You may also obtain small styrofoam containers for customers who wish to purchase additional gelato to take home. These containers are made entirely of insulating styrofoam, with a top lid onto which you can fasten your store logo or the gelato nutritional information.

A tempered glass cover fits over the cabinet, and there are sliding or folded glass doors either in the back or on the top.
