About Nutella gelato

Nutella gelato is a frozen dessert that combines the creamy texture of traditional Italian gelato with the rich, chocolate-hazelnut flavor of Nutella. Originating in Italy, gelato is known for its dense texture and lower fat content compared to ice cream due to its reduced use of cream and higher proportion of milk. Nutella gelato, while indulgent, typically contains fat, carbohydrates, and some protein due to the presence of milk, Nutella, and sometimes eggs. It also provides small amounts of calcium and iron, though it is generally considered a high-sugar treat. Nutritionally, it is best consumed in moderation as part of an overall balanced diet.

Health Benefits

• Hazelnuts in Nutella contribute vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports skin health and immune function.
• Milk in gelato provides calcium, essential for bone strength and development.
• Gelato has less air content than ice cream, which can make portion sizes more satisfying and easier to control.
