Gelato is a cross between and , named in homage to its sweet aroma. Also known as Larry Bird, Gelato (#33) was first cultivated in Northern California's Bay Area and is derived from a deep bank of genetics created by the Cookie Family, the Sherbinskis family, and cultivator Mario Guzman.

The cultivators parted ways following its creation, and the cultivator who possesses the most “stable version” of Gelato genetics is up for debate. Cookies cultivates a few phenotypes and descendants of the strain named , , and a sun-grown Gelato. Sherbinskis grows four stabilized Gelato phenotypes in its rotation as well: (Bacio Gelato), Gelato #43 (), (Mochi Gelato), and Gelato #49 (). Per Sherbinskis, the #33 phenotype is no longer in cultivation.
