A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HISTORY OF GELATO

• The first gelatos go back about 12,000 years ago: in Mesopotamia, slave runners traveled up to hundreds kilometers to collect snow and ice used to cool drinks served during ceremonies or royal banquets.

 

• Many centuries later in an Italian Island - Sicily - during the 11th century, the Arabs developed "shrb", a sort of sugar syrup, made with snow (from Mount Etna), sugar, flowers and fruit. "Shrb" is the first "sorbetto" 'sorbet'. In Sicily sorbetto become very popular under Arab rule with more than 400 different kinds of flavors for their sorbets.

 

• But the modern Italian gelato begins many years later. During the Renaissance a famous chemist and alchemist Cosimo Ruggieri created the first "fiordilatte gelato" (milk creamy gelato) at the court of the Medici family in Florence.

 

• Egg Custard Cream (Gelato alla Crema) was invented by Bernardo Buontalenti - an architect.

 

• In 1686 Francesco Procopio de Coltelli - a Sicilian - opened the first "gelateria" in Paris. The name of this so famous gelateria was "Café Le Procope". He added coarse sea salt to the ice to chill the preparations more quickly. On the Café Procope Menù Parisians enjoyed not only gelatos and sorbets (“lemon gelato”, "strawberry sorbet" or “orange gelato”) but the delicious "acque gelate" (Sicilian Granitas).

 

• Sorbets and Gelatos were super expensive because for making them the gelato makers ("gelataio") needed to use a lot of ice and coarse sea salt - very expensive.

 

• Filippo Baldini - a phisician from Naples - wrote a book where he declared that sorbets and gelatos were healthy for soul and for body.
