juicy mangoes with coconut sorbet - oh my!
It's grey and rainy but I found myself digging into the fridge for a tropical snack to transport me away...and nothing's better than juicy mango cubes and Ciao Bella Coconut Sorbetto. I'm currently obsessed with this coconut sorbet made from a (supposed) Italian recipe but made in a factory somewhere in Jersey -- hee. I love the coconut sorbetto more than a regular gelato because the former is less creamy, it has a clean, icy texture and doesn't taste heavy. A nice little amuse bouche apres diner...or whenever. Delish!
The Ciao Bella flavour roster sounds sublime, including:
* Apricot Chardonnay Sorbet made from fresh apricots and white wine from France
* Banana Sorbet made from Equadorian bananas (you'll go cross-eyed with delight if you pair it with Coconut Sorbet)
* Blackberry Cabernet Sorbet with notes of currant, plum, and cherry
* Blood Orange Sorbet made with blood oranges from Sicily
* Cassis Sorbet made with blackcurrants from the Pacific Northwest
* Lemon Sorbetto made with lemons from Sicily
* Mojito Sorbetto with lime juice, Bacardi rum and fresh mint
* Lemon Passion Vodka Sorbetto with passionfruit juice from Ecuador, vodka, and lemon zest (seasonal)
* Rose Petal Champagne Sorbetto (seasonal)
* Spiced Honey Sorbetto with 21 spices including cardamon, clove, cinnamon, coriander, chili pepper, turmeric with honey (seasonal)
The gelato flavours sound incredible, but at Canada's Whole Foods they only sell the sorbets. I'd like to get my tastebuds around these flavours: Amaretto / Bourbon Pecan / Valrhona Chocolate / Green Tea & White Chocolate Chunks / Lebanese Yogurt / Lemon Curd / Malted Milk Ball / Maple Ginger Snap / Zabaglione
Plus I am a sucker for their packaging -- great branding, it's so charming!
