What was the most popular place in Bad Godesberg yesterday afternoon? Eiscafé Capri.*Everyone was either sitting outside the café or walking through town licking a cone. Though the German word Eis translates to "ice cream" in English, I think they really serve gelato.
What's the difference? Less air is incorporated into gelato’s base, making it dense and creamy. The best gelato is made in small batches, which enables the producers to use fresh, high-quality ingredients. And gelato is made with milk instead of cream.
Devotees claim that since gelato has a lower fat content, it leaves your palate cleaner and your taste buds are therefore more sensitive to detecting flavor. I can't attest to the science behind this claim, but I can said that gelato often has brighter, more intense flavors then ice cream.
