Gelato Festival

What a really fun concept. We purchased our tickets online but the scanner and code did not work. I showed my email to the man at the register and he provided us with two tickets. No hassle. Two tickets will get you 3 special flavors and two obligatory flavors– Nutella (Nutella seems pretty big here?) and a milk chocolate. When you vote you get a 6^th free sample.
We then tested all 8 flavors. I was so fortunate to start at number two. Please see my photos for details. The chef (?), what do you call a gelato creator?, was so friendly. She explained the contest to me and then described her gelato. When I first read the description online o thought hers was going to be too much. Lots of ingredients, hazelnut, pistachio, chocolate, orange. But wow the Orange really pops with the gelato. Hands down my favorite.
My number two slot goes to the parmesan and honey creation– number 5. Who knew Parmesan cheese could taste so good with honey? Very unique these flavors really balance each other. Very nice and passionate gelato creator.
Number three pick goes to number three gelato Fig and lemon. Well done. Unique. The lemon really stands out.
There is a cooking demonstration where they will teach you how to make gelato and then provide you with samples. In Italian however. You can also watch them make gelato in a huge truck.
The gelato fair is in Naples for 4 days then travels on. I highly suggest going if they are in your city. I’m glad we took the time out of our vacation to try this!
