Gelato Al Naturale
Sorrento, Italy

We are wandering around
beautiful Sorrento, Italy.
We just came here by an
easy train
ride from Naples
where we have
been staying for about a week.
The weather in Naples has
been drizzly and cold, albeit, with a few sunny days in between.
It was City
Life there, and we prefer more nature and the sea.
So off to
Sorrento we went!
And guess what?!
Surprises of all surprises,
we found ...
GELATO!
The front of this gelato store and Cafe
Coming out of the train station and into the
center of town, there is this gelateria. It is strategically placed for tourists
to enjoy a scoop before meandering too much farther to other tourist shops and
to view the spectacular cliffs and sea bellow.
Well, of course, we had to stop!
Gelato choices
As usual, the variety of gelato flavors are
displayed deliciously and ready for us to purchase.
Cups and cones are lined up along with small
pastries and accompaniments.
Everything from melon to hazelnut
The back row has hazelnut, chocolate chip,
pistachio and strawberry.
In front you have mocha, coconut and mango.
Some serious choices here!
Pistachio is a local favorite
The flavors of gelato are so remarkable and
intense, it's hard to choose which one to purchase.
As you can see here, the greenish-brown one
in the center back - Pistachio - is a local favorite.
Pistachios are grown in southern Italy and
Sicily and are famous all over the world.
That coconut and mango looks pretty inviting
as well.
One happy gelato server!
I couldn't pass over the coconut gelato...
I grew up in Ohio, where what they called
"coconut" was a dried, sugared, shredded, and sometimes powdered rendition of
what is actually COCONUT.
One could usually taste the box, if you know
what I mean... Like powdered mashed potatoes, not quite like the real thing.
Having lived in the tropics for decades now,
true, fresh coconut is marvelous.
Coconut milk is used in Thai cooking,
Vietnamese and Indian cooking as well. There is nothing like that flavor!
In a gelateria you can get two flavors in one
cup or cone if you prefer.
Double the pleasure double the fun!!
It's hard to imagine a trip to Italy without
taking advantage of the many gelato stores.
Indulge!
