10 Unusual Gelato Flavours to Try This Summer

10 unusual gelato flavours to try this Summer
We all think about ice cream as soon as the sun arrives. It seems to be a food whose popularity crosses all age groups!
Gelato is the Italian word for homemade ice cream with whole milk and sugar. The main differences between ice cream and gelato is that gelato doesn't include as much cream. Sometimes egg yolks are included but often not. It's usually lower in fat because it has less of these two ingredients and is softer due to being churned slowly. This means less air getting into the mixture, it becomes more dense. It isn't stored at such a low temperature as ice cream so there are no ice crystals. Enjoy our unique gelato flavours here.

Great Italian Cities: Mantova
Many years ago not long after Mr Prada and I were married, we went on an Italian road trip. What is most surprising is that we were still married at the end of the trip as we always argue in the car! This is of course his fault rather than mine! Being in a car with an Italian, especially when they are suddenly back in their homeland means all sorts of insane driving practices seep out! How we got to Mantova is beyond me but it is one of our most memorable trips.
