The difference between
ice cream and gelato
Ice cream and gelato's two main ingredients are both milk and cream, but it is the amount of each that results in differing desserts. As ice cream usually contains more cream than milk, gelato is made with a greater proportion of whole milk to cream. Egg also distinguishes the two desserts, our Original Recipe ice cream includes fresh eggs while the gelato does not contain this ingredient.
Ice cream and gelato differ not only with ingredients but with the process as well. Gelato is churned much slower than ice cream, making the dessert creamier, more dense, and having less air than regular ice cream. At Riverside Dairy, we offer both gelato and original recipe ice cream flavors, along with different non dairy Italian Ice flavors.

When we say, "homemade" we really mean it. Our all natural mix ingredients are carefully selected. Pasteurized on site, marinated a minimum of twenty four hours, then run through our batch freezers. Many of our toppings and variegates are handcrafted by us and are added at this point. It immediately goes into our flash freezer to preserve the freshness until we deliver.
