If you grew up in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, you probably spent your summers enjoying paper cups of Italian ice, which is called water ice (pronounced "wooder ice") in the greater Philadelphia area. Italian ice is a frozen sweet treat made with a perfect combination of fresh fruits, premium juices or natural purees. It's similar to a snow cone, or shaved ice, but is set apart by its creamy texture similar to ice cream. Italian ice is also dairy free, fat free, cholesterol free, gluten free and produced in a nut free facility. A healthier alternative to gelato, ice cream and yogurt and is perfect for those with allergies and/or dietary restrictions.
