Gelato Flavors
with an American Twist
Today, there are worldwide competitions among the top gelato artisans, and the prestige afforded those among the top ranked places is immense. It can all be very intimidating, especially for people in the United States who are far less familiar with gelato and what it entails. At Tifa Chocolate & Gelato, we wanted to make gelato accessible to everyone, and particularly to Americans.
That’s why we’ve created our gelato flavors with an American twist, and why we’ve designed each Tifa Chocolate & Gelato location to be as warm and inviting as the kitchen of a beloved grandmother or aunt—we want our frozen dessert franchise shops to be places of welcome and comfort.
Tifa Chocolate & Gelato is everything a dessert shop should be: fun, homey, and full of laughter and togetherness.
The American Style of Gelato
The first thing you need to know is that gelato is not ice cream. It’s more like ice cream’s healthier cousin.
Gelato Offers:
Than its custard or ice cream relatives, while still delivering on flavor. In fact, because gelato is served at a warmer temperature, it doesn’t numb the taste buds quite as much, so its flavor packs more punch, not less.
Gelato is also denser, having less air and fewer ice crystals, so it is creamier with a texture that goes hand-in-hand with being served warmer.
What does this have to do with Americans? Well, Americans are becoming more health conscious than ever, thanks to rising obesity rates, according to the CDC, early 42% of American adults have reached obesity status, which has many people seeking healthier alternatives to their favorite foods. Including substituting gelato for ice cream.
At Tifa Chocolate & Gelato, we’ve also taken into account that flavor profiles that work in European gelato shops may not work in the US. So we’ve created over 100 recipes that cater more to American palates.
We call it Americana gelato, or gelato with an American twist. Some of our classics include:
Vanilla Bean
Many of our favorites are also released on a seasonal basis, and include:
Pumpkin Pie
Cookie Monster
Americans Love Frozen Desserts
In America, we consume around 22 pounds of ice cream and other frozen desserts every year.
July is National Ice Cream Month, declared so by President Ronald Regan in 1984 because 90% of Americans love ice cream.
The declaration also made the 3rd Sunday of July National Ice Cream Day every year.
