Italian ice

Italian ice

Italian ice is a frozen dessert made from either concentrated syrup flavoring or fruit purees. It is not shaved ice that is flavored, rather, it is made by the same process by which ice cream is made: mixing ingredients and pouring them into a batch freezer. The quality of Italian ice varies widely by whether it is made with flavor extracts or natural ingredients. Technically, Italian ice is the same as sorbet, but the term "Italian ice" is usually associated with the icy artificial product that comes from using extracts, while "Sorbet" is often used for products made with natural ingredients. Sometimes the term "Gourmet Italian Ice" is used to refer to Italian ice that is made from real fruit. Common flavors include cherry, coconut, piña colada, blueberry, and lemon. Some specialty shops also sell a wider array of flavors, such as cantaloupe, orange and chocolate.

In October 2007, Dennis Moore of "Little Jimmy's Italian Ice" in Elizabeth, New Jersey, submitted the term "Italian ice" as a possible addition to the Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. On November 8, 2007, this term was added, in International Class 030: Italian Ice.cite news | coauthors= | title=Italian Ice submission to US Patent and trademark Office | date=8 November 2007 | publisher=Little Jimmy's Italian Ice| url = http://tess2.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-brs?sect2=THESOFF&sect3=PLURON&pg1=ALL&s1=italian+ice&l=MAX&sect1=IDMLICON&sect4=HITOFF&op1=AND&d=TIDM&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2Ftidm.html&r=0&f=S | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2007-11-08| language = ] The most common flavors are lemon, cherry, and blueberry.cite news | coauthors= | title=Italian Ice sales per flavor 2000-2007 | date=2000-2007 | publisher=Little Jimmy's Italian Ice| url = http://www.italianice.net | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2007-12-31| language = ]

Water ice

Water ice is similar to Italian ice, but has a softer texture, is served at a higher temperature, and is only available in the greater Philadelphia area.
