Talenti Gelato Giveaway! CLOSED
16 Sep
Many years ago on my first trip to Italy, I was introduced to the most amazing ice cream I have ever had, Gelato. I think the display is what got me. The ice cream was whipped into peaks and topped with fruits, nuts and chocolates. I tried the Baci, which is a Italian candy made with Hazelnts and chocolate and I was in heaven. You can literally buy a Gelato on every corner in Rome, Venice and Florance, but it is not easily found here in the US. Some of you may be wondering what exactly is Gelato and how is it different than ice cream.
Regular ice cream is made with fresh cream, real eggs, and natural flavoring and it also has more air whipped in. As much as half the carton may be air, in fact. More air–or “overrun”–means softer ice cream that scoops more easily and melts more quickly. Gelato, however has no air added at all. Gelato recipes usually include more egg yolks, more milk and less cream. It actually has less fat than regular ice cream, but gelato’s low overrun makes for an extremely dense, rich and creamy treat.
Which means you can eat more and it has 30% less fat than regular ice cream!!
I was so excited to find Talenti Gelato at my local grocery store!!
