Gelato, Sorbetto and Granita Siciliana

Gelato,  sorbetto and Granita are all frozen desserts that are popular in Italy, but they have some key differences.
Gelato is a creamy and rich frozen treat made with milk, sugar, and flavorings, while sorbetto is a lighter and fruitier option made with water, sugar, and fresh fruit.
Gelato typically has a lower fat content than ice cream, but still has a smooth and dense texture, Gelaterias also keep their cases at a warmer temperature than most ice cream shops, which contributes to gelato’s silkier texture.
Sorbetto, on the other hand, is dairy-free and has a more icy and refreshing consistency. Both desserts are delicious options for a sweet treat, but gelato is perfect for those looking for a creamy indulgence, while sorbetto is a great choice for a lighter and fruitier option.
Granitas have ingredients that are identical to sorbet— fruit (or juice, as in the Lemon one), sugar, and water—but they differ in texture. Unlike sorbet, which is smooth-churned, granita is scraped repeatedly during the freezing process, loosening its structure into icy flakes.
We have granita only in  summer and generally one or two flavors available at a time between Lemon, Coffee, Almond, Strawberry and Raspberry.
