Ciao Bella White Chocolate Peppermint
I stopped in at Whole Foods on a whim to see if they had any seasonal Talenti flavors. (They did, and I have a review coming soon!) I also picked up a pint of Ciao Bella White Chocolate Peppermint, a seasonal flavor. This is a Whole Foods exclusive and is part of a trio of seasonal flavors including Mulled Apple Cider Sorbetto (I can't decide if this sounds awesome or disgusting) and Honey Almond Nougat Gelato (definitely sounds awesome). This flavor is described as White Chocolate Peppermint gelato marries crushed, all-natural peppermint candies into white chocolate for a lush dessert that makes this classic extra decadent. So how did this stack up against this season's other peppermint offerings? Solidly middle of the pack. The texture was decent, but didn't really scream "gelato" to me. I typically think of gelato as being slicker and without much air. This was slightly wetter than ice cream, but did have an airiness more common in ice cream. ...
