It's said that the first people in the world to create creamy, frozen ice cream were the 16th-century Florentines, on the occasion of the King of Spain's visit to the Medici court. GelatoMadre today revives the flavors of true, traditional ice cream, basing their work on an ancient recipe by architect Buontalenti, its inventor, made by Pasticceria Badiani in Florence with high-quality, fresh Italian milk and cream, sugar and egg yolks.
