Gelateria
in Palermo, Sicily

Frozen desserts have been
around for centuries, but gelato, as we know it today, didn't take off until the
16th century.
Gelato is like an ice cream
but with less fat and is served at a slightly warmer temperature, so the flavors
come out more boldly.
Offered all over the world,
Italian gelato is considered to be the best.
We are in Sicily, and
Sicilians love their gelato as well.
A selection of coffees and gelatos
Coffee and gelato go well together sort of
like the bitter with the sweet.
An affogato is a dessert made with vanilla
ice cream and espresso. Originally invented in Italy, the word “affogato”
literally translates as “drowned” in English. This is fitting, as the affogato
is no more than a scoop of ice cream “drowned” in espresso.
A freddo is one or two shots of espresso
shaken in a mixer and served over ice.
A ristretto is a "short shot" of a more
highly concentrated espresso coffee. It is made with the same amount of ground
coffee, but it is a finer grind and uses half as much water.
Some flavors of gelato listed are mint,
berry, chocolate chip, lemon, and nut. Fior di latte is gelato in its purest
form: no eggs, no fruit, no chocolate, no vanilla.
Pans of gelato on display
Gianduja is an Italian chocolate paste made from hazelnuts, sugar, and cocoa.
It's lighter than dark chocolate but darker than milk chocolate, and contains at
least 30% hazelnuts. In the US, Gianduja is most commonly recognized as a chocolate
spread, like Nutella.
Melon gelato
This is cantaloupe gelato. It's like taking a
bite out of a fresh melon!
A little sweeter, a little colder, a little
more intense.
Very refreshing.
The counter in the gelato store
Here we have wines, liquors, pastries and a
pasta decoration!
In the back against the wall is the espresso
machine.
What's not to love?
More gelatos!
Strawberry, mandarin, melon, coconut, nut,
hazelnut, pistachio, chocolate...
The flavors run the gamut.
If you visit Sicily, you must try their
gelato and have an espresso on the side.
It's such a southern
Italian treat, and you won't be disappointed.
Retire
Early Lifestyle appeals to a different
kind of person – the person who prizes their
independence, values their time, and who doesn’t
want to mindlessly follow the crowd.
