The Gelato you find in Italy is one of the best desserts in the world. It’s basically ice cream, but the Italian version specifies that we’re talking about a type of ice cream based on dairy with many different things mixed in for flavor. There isn’t a place in Italy where you won’t find a gelato stand so trying to find the best can quickly turn into a delicious adventure. Here are some guidelines if you’re determined to try Italy’s best gelato.
Natural Colors
Some ice cream parlors will offer you bright yellow banana or bright green pistachio flavors, but that isn’t what you’re looking for. If the colors are too bright, it means that artificial coloring was added. Go with the ice cream that looks more natural.
Consistency
The best gelato doesn’t have a lot of air in it, which means it can’t be piled up too high. Use this trick to tell if the consistency of the gelato is right, which will tell you if you’re having cheap or high-quality ice cream.
Seasonal Flavors
If you want to try fresh, delicious gelato, don’t go for fruit flavors that out of season. Chances are you won’t love your strawberry gelato in the middle of November.
