Geluna Gelato produces small batches of gelato right in the heart of Downtown Cary. Our mission is to always serve the freshest gelato using no artificial flavors
or colors. Trained in Italy, we use traditional methods to make all our gelatos. This means we always start with fresh milk and cream, delivered every Thursday from Homeland Creamery in nearby Julian, NC. For locally grown produce like strawberries, peaches, blueberries and corn, we purchase from vendors at the State Farmer’s Market. For those who prefer dairy-free, we always have at least two vegan flavors available at all times!
Gelato is not ice cream. While the ingredients may be the same, there are a few key differences. First, authentic gelato is made with more milk and less cream than ice cream, so it has less fat. Second, gelato is churned more slowly, so it incorporates less air. And lastly, gelato is served at a temperature of about 10F – 15F degrees warmer than ice cream. With less fat, less air and a warmer serving temperature, the result is smoother on the tongue with a more intense flavor sensation. Delicious!
