Italian term

gelato artigianale

Italian to English Other Food & Drink ice-cream
lo so che è impossibile far capire ad un anglosassone che non abbia mai provato il gelato artigianale nostrano cosa si perde.... jajaj ma esiste un termine corrispettivo in inglese?
avevo pensato ad "homemade ice-cream", ma in effetti si parla di gelaterie che posseggono i propri laboratori, piuttosto che di gelato fatto in casa... HELP!!

thanks very much
agree Angela Arnone : Handmade - BUT ABSOLUTELY ***NOT*** handicraft

thanks...you are right, handmade is more near.
neutral awilliams : My only worry is that "handmade" suggests that they don't use machines and we don't know that. "Handicraft" doesn't work with ice cream.

handmade that is not industrialized.
agree Jean Martin : Sainsbury's refers to handmade ice cream and manufacturer in the same phrase

thanks
disagree Peter Cox : We wouldn't use "handmade" for ice cream in English - unless we worked for Sainsbury's evidently!

i meant "not industrialized"
neutral writeaway : handicraft is never an adjective in the best of times and would never be used for ice cream.

house-made ice-cream

Ciao Rachele,
*house-made* is common when speaking of restaurants, ice-cream parlors etc

You could also say *artisanal ice-cream*, which I'm not crazy about , or *ice-cream made on the premises*
Peer comment(s):

agree awilliams : I prefer "ice cream made on the premises" but it is pretty long-winded. "... made in-house"?

thanks, Amy - that sounds good too

gourmet ice cream

Questo e' un termine che si usa spesso per definire un gelato di qualita' superiore a quello industriale (ma comunque creato con metodi di gelateria)
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : gourmet just means more calories and more costly, particularly in US. has nothing to do with industrial or not.
