Gelato. . .some people say that it is just like Ice Cream and I say NO!! They are so different in flavor and texture. . .the actual make up of the ingredients. . .
Did you know that Gelato actually has less fat then normal Ice Cream? Well it does. Gelato tends to be made with more milk then heavy cream. . .like ice cream. So if you want to think that Gelato is healthier for you then ice cream. . .in a sense. . .it actually is as it has less fat! =)
You might also wonder then why is gelato so much creamier then ice cream? Well it's the temperature that they serve it at. Ice cream is normally served at 6-10 degrees F. . .while Gelato is served traditionally at 10-22 degrees F. So OF COURSE, gelato feels and tastes creamier.
So now that the ice cream vs gelato lesson is over. . .=) Let's get on with the review on the gelato!!
I have been here numerous times and they have never disappointed. I have tried more flavors then I bought of course. . .since I tasted about 5-7 before buying a cup with 2 flavors in it. . .LOL
But the one that stands out is the Gorgonzola with pear. . .if you love gorgonzola cheese as much as I do. . .then you would have LOVED this one. But remember once you have something and you love it. . .go back often as they change their flavors frequently!
Olive Oil gelato. . .one of my all time favorites!! Yeah I tend to like sweets with a savory twist and this totally made my day! I could tell they had used EVOO from the first cold press as the flavor of the EVOO was very very fresh and fruity! LOVED it!
I also loved their caramel popcorn gelato. . .the flavors dead on. . .BUT I have to say that popcorn was a little soggy for me. . .
Peanut Butter. . .OMG. . .heavenly!! So creamy!! It tasted like you were eating heavenly light spoonfuls of peanut buttery goodness!!
In other words, I have yet to have anything that I did NOT like. . .I have some that I liked over others. . .BUT everything has been delicious!
Writing this review makes me wish that I had a large cup of gelati in front of me right now!! =)
Ambiance. . .it is really cute and clean. . .very bright!
People taking my order have always been very friendly.
They seem to be branching out into other baked goods. . .sadly I can not write a review on those as I have never gotten past the gelati!
Seriously. . .go and get some!!! Like right now. . .go get some!!! =)
