Sorbet is a frozen dessert that is made from two key ingredients, water and fruit. Essentially, it is sweetened water added to f
ruit puree that is churned and then frozen. It differs from regular ice cream and other frozen desserts because it contains no dairy, like cream or milk. As a result, sorbet has a very low fat content. With a low fat content, it means that sorbet needs to be served a little differently than regular ice cream. It needs to be stored at a lower temperature in order to scoop it into a cup or cone easily. If it is not stored at a lower temperature, it is frozen solid like an ice cube.
The story of sorbet begins with the Roman Emperor, Nero, and his travels during the first century. The legend states that Nero established a line of runners from Italian cities to high up in the mountains. This allowed buckets of snow to travel from the mountains to his banquet hall whenever he pleased. Since fresh snow was so hard to get, only the richest families enjoyed the frozen dessert. Due to the lack of technology, fresh snow had to be retrieved from the mountains constantly if Nero wanted to eat the dessert. There was nowhere to keep it frozen so it would melt. Since Nero wanted a constant supply of the dessert, he needed a group of workers to keep fetching it from the mountains. Nero liked to flavor the fresh snow with honey and that's essentially what sorbet is, water and flavoring. This is the first record account of sorbet, which lead to other frozen desserts, like traditional ice cream.
