Some Limoncello Gelato on a Warm Summer Day.


Hi everyone.  The past few days, Boston was going through a heatwave.  What do I do?  Try a new seasonal gelato!

This flavor is from the Whole Foods Market brand of imported gelato.  There's a great deal with these 30.4 oz containers, and aside from today's special feature, I'd recommend the hazelnut flavor.  I was wondering why they measurement on the packaging was for weight, and not pints or gallons.  Using an unstandardized unit of measuring volume, you roughly get 30-ish mouthfuls.

Yesterday, I saw something new, limoncello gelator. The primary flavor came from lemon juice, though at home I love adorning vanilla ice cream with some lemon rind.  With my first spoonful, I dug deep into this slow churned Italian treat.  Some meringue, some lemon swirl, and some straight-up gelato were all collected into one utensil.  Like with Roba Dolce's pink grapefruit sorbetto, the gelato was clean, crisp, and so refreshing.  The taste of lemon pulls no punches in getting that citric taste through.  Imagine if a lemon sorbet was smoother in texture (thank you, milk).

For me, the only criticism for possible changes is just out of personal preference.  I could have done without the meringue pieces if it meant more of that amped up lemon.
