Many thanks!

Thank you Thanks to everyone for your much appreciated contribution
Katia DG Mar 29, 2011:
@Lara Ok, I see. As I said before, I am not familiar with English ice cream naming. My point was that the term "full fat ice cream" may suggest there is no "full fat" in other flavours, which is not the case. I think that leaving "fiordilatte" would be the best option in this specific case.
Lara Barnett Mar 29, 2011:
Ice cream base Here are examples of how an ice-cream "base" can be flavoured with many flavours:
"Our secret is to remain true to the traditional 'home-made' ice cream, which reflects the delicate, subtle creamy qualities you expect from our PURE DAIRY flavour range."

"Interesting! I admit I was a little nervous about eating FULL FAT ICE-CREAM but it was so worth it. I preferred the Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge."

Cristina ha ragione la vaniglia non appare nelle ricette tradizionali.

Gelato fior di latte

Ingredienti: 3,5 dl di latte, 2 dl di panna liquida fresca, 100 gr di zucchero, 1 albume.

http://www.cucinaconme.it/gelato.htm
però ho visto che c'e' come al solito confusione, alcuni siti indicano il fiordilatte come gelato alla vaniglia (ma non sono siti italiani in generale:)
Lara Barnett Mar 29, 2011:
@ katiadegennaro Full fat ice cream / pure dairy ice cream is also a base for any flavour of ice cream. The fact that it is full fat or described as pure dairy does not disqualify it from being "the base for many other icecream flavours" .
cynthiatesser (asker) Mar 29, 2011:
Raffaela Yes, thank you, but I need to know everybody's opinion about it

DOUBLE MILK that's what I wrote as a discussion entry yesterday 12.06
Katia DG Mar 29, 2011:
Fiordilatte is simply the base for many other icecream flavours:

BASE BIANCA
Si tratta della miscela priva di uova, che da' origine anzitutto al gusto fiordilatte,e per aggiunta di ingredienti quali canditi,croccante,meringa sbriciolata e frutta secca,ai gusti di cassata croccante meringa,noce ecc.e per aggiunta di frutta fresca,a pezzetti o in purea,ai gusti cremosi alla frutta. ... La base cosi' preparata corrisponde al gusto fiordilatte,che in genere viene aromatizzata alla vaniglia.

cynthiatesser (asker) Mar 29, 2011:
Double milk Could this be a suitable idea?
Giles Watson Mar 28, 2011:
Butterfat "Fiordilatte" is "butterfat" but you might run into trouble if you translate it that way here. Butterfat content is an important parameter of all ice creams/gelati and wouldn't really be appropriate as the name of the dish. Cristina and Chiara's "gelato fiordilatte" sounds good to me, perhaps with an explanation ("made with top of the milk"), otherwise Laura's "milk ice cream" is fine.
Gianco (X) Mar 28, 2011:
Context You must watch it! Fiordilatte can also be a type of mozzarella (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozzarella). You need to give the context.
Cristina Munari Mar 28, 2011:
Fiordilatte On a refined menu, I would leave fiordilatte and even replace ice-cream with gelato, as ice-cream contains more cream than Italian gelato.
Katia DG Mar 28, 2011:
I agree with Caterina! I don't know much about English icecream naming, but fiordilatte does not contain vanilla, and I assume that an ice cream flavour named vanilla in English would contain vanilla.
Caterina Rebecchi Mar 28, 2011:
Il gusto "fiordilatte" non ha tra gli ingredienti la "vaniglia" (è fatto di latte, panna e zucchero). Mentre il gusto "crema" è a base di latte, panna, zucchero e tuorli.
R.C. (X) Mar 28, 2011:
vanilla is vaniglia
this is a double-milk one, "fiore" meaning "best of" in this case

I've always considered "crema" to be custard (with eggs in the mixture, that I think is the primary difference) so gelato alla crema would be frozen custard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_custard or custard icecream.

This site is interesting, and points out the difference between the two main icecream bases http://allrecipes.com//HowTo/homemade-ice-cream/Detail.aspx
Note from asker:
Yes, I have thought of that, too. But I also have "gelato alla crema" which is usually translated by "vanilla". Maybe we can use "vanilla" for fiordilatte and find something else for "crema". Do you have any ideas?. Thank you
Peer comment(s):
disagree Joel Schaefer : As discussed, vanilla is a specific ingredient and flavor which would be identified as vaniglia. This fiordilatte seems to be without an added flavoring.

vanilla

In the United States, "vanilla" is usually "fiordilatte" and "French vanilla" "crema".
However, we also have "vaniglia" in Italian, so some people suggest to leave "fiordilatte" untranslated (see previous post).

Ma la domanda è da italiano a inglese?

Vanilla ice cream is made from milk and cream, with no eggs ("fiordilatte").
French vanilla is richer and should include egg yolks (like "crema").

There are several variations on the standard vanilla flavor, including a particularly rich and creamy variety called French vanilla. French vanilla is more of an egg custard before freezing, and contains egg yolks for a richer consistency.

I think that "French vanilla" is a popular flavor in the UK as well:

Yes, in UK English they say "courgettes" for "zucchini" and "aubergines" for "eggplants", so why not "French vanilla"?

Your answer is perfect, but unfortunately my outsourcer is an Englishman. He has got at me before for using Americanisms such as "barbecue" or "zucchini"!!!

full fat ice-cream / pure dairy ice-cream

The "fiore" before the milk(latte) gives the impression of full bloom. I am sure that this is describing the real old fashioned sort of full fat ice-cream as it was traditionally designed, as opposed to low calorie, sorbet, vegetarian or other sorts.

The technical word for this is "full fat ice-cream" which would be well understood by anybody who loves their "real" ice-cream. "Pure dairy ice-cream" would also work, if "full fat" seems a bit banal for a menu, as this is what it is.

Full-fat ice cream: your best bets - nutrition that works for you
Shape, Sept, 2003 by Sharon Cohen, Kathleen Doheny

Sometimes you've just got to have it--whole-milk, full-fat, full-on real ice cream. And, curiously enough, some spas are beginning to agree. "The fat makes a small amount--about 1/3 cup-more satisfying than a larger serving of fat-free ice cream or frozen yogurt," says Marilyn Majchrzak, R.D., food-development manager for the Canyon Ranch Health Resort in Tucson, Ariz., where 2.5-ounce scoops of real ice cream are now being served."

Various flavours are available in "pure dairy" or "full fat" ice-creams:

"Our secret is to remain true to the traditional 'home-made' ice cream, which reflects the delicate, subtle creamy qualities you expect from our PURE DAIRY flavour range."

"Interesting! I admit I was a little nervous about eating full-fat ice cream but it was so worth it. I preferred the Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge."
http://twobooswhoeat.com/category/chocolate-hazelnut-fudge-c...
Example sentence:

"Desserts: 3 scoops of full fat ice cream served with toffee sauce."

"Pure dairy ice cream: Ice cream by made by real Italians in Wales."

Leaving "fiordilatte" - good. However, as an English speaker, I see no connection which links up "full fat ice cream" to there being no "full fat" in other flavours./ So what is the disagree about? http://www.mullins-icecream.com/partners/flavours.php
