ARTISAN GOAT MILK GELATO
PRAIRIE FRUITS FARM & CREAMERY
FARMSTEAD GELATO & SORBETTO
For the uninitiated, gelato is Italian style ice cream. The main differences between gelato and American style ice cream are 1) less air and 2) less fat. What does this mean: a healthier product and more intense flavors. We use our goat milk to make the milk-based flavors and all local fruits for the sorbettos (dairy-free). We've even started using our cheese whey to make select sorbetto flavors (black currant is sublime). We have perfected our recipes to provide you with pure, unadulterated flavors. In fact, the goat milk results in a really creamy and smooth texture.
We make a variety of flavors including vanilla, chocolate, salted caramel swirl and seasonal flavors such as local strawberry, red currant sorbetto and honey-lavender.
We try to incorporate as much of our own fruits and herbs into the ever-changing flavors. Infusions of chocolate mint, Thai basil and lemon verbena - thyme are several of our herbal flavors. Peaches and blackberries come from our farm or local Illinois farms. Any additional fruits, herbs, nuts or syrups are sourced locally from farms and farmers that we are proud to support.
