Italian ice cream, or [[gelato]] as it is known, is a traditional and popular dessert in Italy. Much of the production is still hand-made and flavoured by each individual shop in ''gelaterie a produzione propria''. Gelato is made from whole milk, sugar, sometimes eggs, and natural flavourings. It typically contains 7–8% fat, less than ice cream's minimum of 10%.{{Citation needed|date=March 2025}}
