The History of Italian Water Ice dates to the days of ancient Rome when, in the summer, Emperors dispatched runners to the highest mountain peaks to retrieve show. Mixed with summer's fresh fruit, the ices made a deeply satisfying frozen treat. For generations, the Romans and then the Italians enjoyed flavored ice. They ate it alone or mixed with ice cream to create a "Gelati", a combination of It
alian ice and soft ice cream. When Italians immigrated to the United States in the early part of the 20th century, they brought with them recipes for flavored ices, which were made fro either crushed ice or by shaving blocks of ice with sharpened blades. Different from sherbert, Italian ice has no added cream or dairy products, and unlike sorbets it's served in a cup, slightly wetter and more tasty. In the Italian neighborhoods of South Philadelphia and Jersey, Italian ice has long been a summertime passion with small walk-up windows serving only a few classic flavors. Today, it seems as if Italian ice is sold on every corner in every venue possible and in every flavor, in the northeast. Knowing Texans love for ice cram and cold refreshment year round, this product will offer another choice. Often when something is healthy, flavor is by-passed and forgotten.

The closest description we can give it is a hand scooped Smoothie. Shaved ice, snow cones, and snow-balls are of lesser quality because you are pouring flavoring over crushed or shave ice, therefore losing the consistency of flavor and the smoothness of texture.
