What exactly is gelato? It's more than just a frozen treat, it’s a creamy, richly flavoured masterpiece originating from Sicily and dating back to at least the 16th Century. Today you’ll find Gelato shops, known as gelateria, dotting many Italian streets, tempting those passing by with their exquisite offerings of dairy and fruit-based flavours.

Now, let's dive into the fun part: what’s the difference between gelato and ice cream? Gelato has more milk and less cream compared with ice cream. This gives Gelato a dense and creamy texture that simply melts in your mouth. And don't forget the temperature - gelato is served just a tad warmer than ice cream, making each flavour caress your taste buds intensely.

But how do you spot the real deal amidst all the imitators? Keep an eye out for stainless steel-topped tubs, a sign that the gelato inside is carefully crafted and held in high regard. And remember, true gelato melts quickly, so if you see towering peaks of frozen goodness, it might be a sign of additives trying to keep it standing tall.

So, next time you find yourself in the streets of Copenhagen, don't just settle for any old gelato - seek out the authentic Sicilian made creamy goodness that has been delighting taste buds for centuries. Buon appetito!
