Latte. Zucchero. Uova.
Milk. Sugar. Eggs.
Three simple ingredients produce the rich, creamy texture of the world’s most savored dessert: gelato. Italians pride themselves on the simplicity and freshness of all their foods, and gelato is no exception. Add to this blissful base a palette of delicious Italian flavors such as gianduia (chocolate-hazelnut), tiramisu, cappuccino, pistachio, raspberry, wild cherry, crema di limone, and Italian vanilla, and you can take take a passeggiata through Italy with every spoonful.
From the “frozen milk” sorbetti created by the French royal chefs of Catherine de Medici in the 16th century, through the now-fabled creations of Bernardo Buontalenti in the Renaissance capital of Florence, Italy in 1660, gelato has become an indelible mark of Italian living. It has blossomed from the top to the bottom of the Old Country—the pleasure of Italians and travelers alike.
Now add to the names Medici and Buontalenti that of Damaso, a Phoenix, Arizona family drawing on its affinity for Old World taste and New World sophistication with the introduction of Jolatti™. In 2001, hoping to add an Italian-American name to gelato’s storied history, the family created Jolatti™, the world’s first soft-serve gelato. A distinctly American indulgence, Jolatti™ is slightly lighter than Italian gelato, with one-half the butterfat of American ice cream. Soft-serve Jolatti™: the most delicious way to enjoy the Italian-American experience!
