Marketers and gelateria owners make sure that each scoop is wrapped with refreshing Italy’s goodness

#3: that gelato is made without preservatives?

One of the reasons marketers take advantage of high quality gelato cups is that this kind of ice cream does not contain preservatives. This dessert has a shorter shelf life and does not even contain artificial colors. Don't just consider a gelateria that is famous, look for a shop that serves fresh ice cream everyday. If they serve on a regular basis, then that is definitely the ice cream parlor you are looking for. Did you know that grape ice cream does not exist? Find out why.
