One flavor is for enjoying, the other for exploring
A wise quote from my friend, as we indulged in apricot-and-chocolate flavored artisan gelato in Genoa. The woman at the ice cream shop told us the apricots she’d used in the gelato had been hand-picked from her mother’s garden and I believed her: it tasted amazing. I’d never had apricot ice cream before and now the bar was set high. The deliciously rich chocolate flavor was milkless (vegan, I think she said).
Sometimes, a good ice cream is all you need.

Really good ice cream is my greatest weakness and indulgence. In Italy we frequently had it twice a day. We loved Cinque Terre. That apricot ice-cream sounds amazing. Some of the best ice cream I’ve had was pineapple ice cram at the Dole Plantation in Hawaii. Love the photos of the parasols!

Thanks for your lovely comment! The best ice cream I’ve had was probably in Argentina, very thick, tasty and sticky!

Oh yes, we found good ice cream there too! Cadore in Buenos Aires. The worst was in Turkey – made from goat milk -ewwwww.

I simply love ice cream and am eager to try new ones when traveling (or when at home LOL). That chocolate flavour looks like a dark chocolate one.

Yes, it was dark chocolate, but so luscious! (And I admit, I try new ice creams all the time at home, too, as long as there’s chocolate somewhere!)
