Gelato 1000 flavors, from classic to savory versions here pepper and gorgonzola
An ever-changing world of the ice cream. To the extent that we can identify trends and creative strands of respect. The technological evolution has machinery science fiction, but today the added value of the ice cream is its craftsmanship, processing according to ancient procedures to enhance every flavor. The research on raw materials has become exasperated, from milk and eggs, to continue with the various crus of chocolate, seasonal fruit, pistachios and hazelnuts doc. Another strand concerns the combination of ice cream and dietetics, with products at low rate of sugar or fat, or for coeliacs. Wine, spirits, teas and infusions are another chapter explored carefully, with the result that quality rum, Raisin, high tea selection come as a main ingredient or as a flavoring in a main flavor.
A complementary phenomenon to the use of herbs (rosemary and sage from) or spices (ginger, cinnamon, star anise), without forgetting the nose. Very interesting ice cream salt, pepper to taste from with Gorgonzola, but the real new frontier is the “ice cream all day,” as food to be combined in a dish. This is the case of the formidable Bistro Gelato in Rome, where the 140 flavors are complemented by real dishes based on taste, cold, like ice cream with broad beans with pecorino cheese.
