What it is
This is a frozen dessert made in the Italian style. It features a rich flavor derived from roasted hazelnuts. The texture is typically denser and smoother than American-style ice cream due to less air being incorporated during the churning process. It is crafted to deliver an authentic taste of Italian gelato.
