The most common flaws with self-made gelato usually concern either structure or taste. These can be countered with either objective (measurable) or subjective (personal taste) values.
Below is a list of the flaws we encounter most frequently:
- gelato is too soft, lacks consistency and tends to puddle
- gelato is too hard, it is difficult to serve or portion out
- gelato is sandy
- gelato is rubbery
- gelato is porous
- gelato is watery
- gelato has ice crystals
- gelato is too heavy, not enough air incorporated
- gelato is too light, too much air incorporated
- gelato is too sweet
- gelato lacks of distinctive flavour
