LIMONE CON MENTA

The perfect combination: Lemon and peppermint leaves au naturel!

Lemon is perhaps the most versatile of all fruits, and it has been present on the tables of the peoples of the Mediterranean ever since forever. Due to its high vitamin C concentration, it is a powerful remedy for colds.

Apart from its flavor, several studies have shown that peppermint has a lot of health benefits too: It contains calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, vitamins A, B, C, and D, as well as proteins and menthol, the main element in its composition that accounts for the herb’s freshness.

Some studies assert that it can help ward off diseases, improve the beauty of the body, help you to lose weight, and promote the health of your skin and hair.

Enjoy this super refreshing flavor that only has water, lemon juice, peppermint leaves, and a little unrefined sugar to temper the fruit's sourness in its recipe.

LIMONE CON BASILICO

Basil is famous as an ingredient in salads, sauces, and pizza, but few people are aware of the fact that its tea is also as a great homemade recipe to ease stomachaches. Together with lemon, in addition to increasing satiety, it also helps keep you fit. A careful balance is the secret to this gelato's great taste, which enhances the sourness of the lemon and the characteristic basil flavor. It reminds you of the Mediterranean like nothing else!

Lemon season: April, May, August, October, and November.

LIMONE

Its intense and refreshing scent brings memories and colors of the Mediterranean. It is impossible for an Italian not to associate it with Sicily and its refreshing and delicious granita, with the Amalfi Coast and its golden lemon gardens seen from the sea, or with the fresh and intense flavor of Limoncello (liqueur made with this fruit). 

Perhaps the most versatile of all fruits, it is impossible to know when man first became acquainted with lemons, but early Egyptian stories already made clear its culinary value and importance as a remedy for colds, considering its high concentration of vitamin C. In addition, lemon helps to reduce stomach acidity and improve the functioning of the digestive system.

A refreshing flavor and an intense perfume of the best Sicilian lemons are the "natural" protagonists of our recipe, which only uses water and a little sugar; no artificial emulsifiers, food coloring, or preservatives.

Lemon season: April, May, August, October, and November.

LAMPONE

Originally from Europe, Raspberry is related to roses and prefers cold environments. That is why we use fruits imported from Chile to prepare our gelato. Like most red fruits, it contains tannin, a powerful antioxidant that accounts for that delicious astringent feeling it brings. Additionally, it is also rich in vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, and C, and is known for its power as pain reliever. When making our gelato, we follow the traditional Italian recipe, using only natural ingredients and selected fruits, thus enhancing the properties and delicate and unmistakable flavor of Raspberry.

Raspberry season: December.

KIWI WITH BANANA

Refreshing kiwis and sweet and tasty bananas are the protagonists of this unique flavor. Created for the first time in 2009, just like in Italy, this Gelato has become quite popular among our Brazilian regulars. And, in addition to the flavor, the combination of these two fruits provides the intake of vitamins, copper, and iron that help maintain health by improving the immune system. And there is more! Both are rich in potassium, which helps those who practice sports. Banana is also famous for its high magnesium content, which seems to contribute to improving mood and sleep quality. 

Kiwi season: March, April, May, June, August, September, and December. 

Banana season: March, April, May, September, October, and November.

JABUTICABA

We love this extraordinary Brazilian fruit, which comes straight from the farm!

Jabuticaba is extremely low in fat and calories, it is a rich source of vitamins C and E, folic acid, minerals, and it has several amino acids and fatty acids in it.

Recent studies have shown that its skin is rich in dietary fiber, which has potent antioxidant properties.

To preserve all these qualities, we prepare our Gelato au naturel, blending the fruit together with its skin. We only add water and minimal amounts of unrefined sugar, since jabuticabas are already rich in fructose.

100% flavor - 0% animal ingredients, 0% preservatives, 0% gluten, hydrogenated fats, and artificial ingredients.

Jabuticaba season: September

GOIABA (GUAVA)

It may seem surprising, but the classic Italian gelato recipe pairs perfectly with the very Brazilian flavor of guava. In addition to being a source of vitamins A, B, and C, as well as being used as a natural remedy for nausea, conjunctivitis, and coughs, it is also a pain reliever that can be used even for toothaches. With a thin rind and a delicate filling, the refined taste of Guava gets an extra touch in our 100% natural gelato. 

Guava season: January, February, and March.

FRUTTI DI BOSCO

Our gelato is made with a smoothie of fresh red fruits, selected in season. Our master Gelataio has prepared the perfect combination of fragola (strawberries), lampone (raspberries), more (blackberries), miritilli (blueberries), and lychees.

A delicious, refreshing blend of flavors and colors.
