Gelato is like American ice cream but it is different in three important ways. First, it is made with more milk than cream. This gives it less butter-fat than ice cream. Second, the blending and freezing process is different and gives gelato a creamier texture than American ice cream. But the biggest difference is the flavor! It is much more intense than the ice cream you buy in the grocery store. When you have a taste of our Double Chocolate, you will know for sure that is Chocolate. The Strawberry tastes like real strawberries, not some artificial flavor. The Mint Chocolate Chip has more mint flavor than any American mint chip we’ve tasted. Gelato di Prata serves 24 flavors of gelato, which vary each week.
Gelato di Prata is owned and operated by a Gainesville couple, Richard and Hilda Brown. Gelato is the Italian word for frozen and by extension is synonymous with their famous frozen dessert which is similar to American ice cream. Prata is the Italian word for meadow, which is the Brown’s first grandchild’s name. Meadow Brown lives nearby and comes to visit the shop often. Her favorite gelato flavors is Mint Chocolate Chip.
