And the flavors? PLENTIFUL. I have such a difficult time picking one flavor to enjoy while we are there. This last visit, I enjoyed Nocciola which is hazelnut flavor. Out of this world and it is apparently imported directly from Piedmont, Italy. So very good and creamy.
There are also flavors there that I have never seen before. I've seen green tea before but durian or black sesame gelato? These folks are on it.
I actually sent them an email asking if there are any restaurants or stores that sell their products here. They have distributors as far as Calgary and Winnipeg but I think they need it here in Edmonton too! I'll update this post if I hear back from them.
Less than a block away from the famous Olympic Village, their fantastic glass-front building is a definite must stop for me and my family.

That's the second Gelato post I am reading this week.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that overall in North America this concept of flavourful ice cream has not succeeded that way it has in Europe?
That is such a priceless picture, luv it! Definitely one that needs to be framed. You have a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteI've tried the gelato at block 1912 - YUMMERZ! And did you say durian? Oooh, you've got my attention :-P
Have you been to Casa Gelato in Vancouver? Definitely worth looking up.
ReplyDeleteI am with H. Peter. Why is the world is this product so delectable everywhere in Italy - and not anywhere in our city? (Maybe in 1912)
ReplyDeleteYour endorsement and enthusiasm will influence many. The company should send you a bucket a month for a year!

H. Peter: I LOVE gelato. I'm not sure why it's not as wide spread here.
ReplyDeletelequan: I also love that picture of my son. It made me have a good laugh for sure.
Jean Poutine: Never tried Casa Gelato. Must, next time I'm in Van.
Valerie: A bucket a month... oh my! My taste buds are screaming yes but my back end is screaming no.
