The Cremeria is the realization of a family-wide infatuation with gelato. The Macrinas happily stumbled upon the unparalleled gelato of Bologna and have been dreaming of it ever since. In an attempt to share this wonderful product with others, Maria returned to Italy to learn the art of gelato-making, bringing the authentic methods and a vision for The Cremeria back home.
The Cremeria's mission is to create a simple and natural product that brightens any day. To us, gelato is so much more than a dessert, and we hope that you’ll agree!"

Gelato is often characterized as "Italian ice cream," but it's actually a more versatile term. Italian gelato includes all frozen desserts within the realm of ice cream. In the US, ice cream must legally contains a minimum of 10% butterfat, while gelato is usually made with between 0% and 8% butterfat.
