In the Freezer

“Gelato, sorbet and granita flavours run the gamut from seasonal fresh fruits to popular essences including coffee and chocolate or liqueurs such as vin santo, marsala, limoncello, or even grappa. Each bite packs a wallop of sensory stimulation, a celebration of the primary ingredient undisguised by additives or cloying, heavy ingredients that mask the original flavour. Though lower in fat, often with no more than 6 to 7 percent butterfat, gelato has much more flavour than ice cream. This is because fat tends to coat the mouth, blocking the experience of the fresh natural flavour. In addition, the best gelaterie use full-flavoured seasonal products, maximising the essence of the main ingredient. Another reason for the intense flavours is that gelato is kept at a warmer freezing temperature. The consistency is dense and velvety, with less air beaten into it. The softer texture glides through the mouth, and because it is not so cold, the taste buds do not become numb with freezing, but are open to accept more of the flavour…”

Semifreddo

Semifreddo – which in Italian means “half cold”- is a specialty frozen dessert not exactly like gelato or sorbet. It has it’s origins in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, where it is used in the celebration of the New Year. The main difference between semifreddo and other frozen dairy desserts is the quality and the quantity of the ingredients, the smooth and delicate texture, and the fact that it is not quite as cold as ice cream thus explaining it’s nomenclature. Gioco semifreddo consists of a foundation formed of a cream base which is infused with select flavours and ingredients, and zabaglione. An Italian meringue is then folded through this mixture to form the basis of a great semifreddo. It is at this point that we fuse this traditional mixture with our handmade confections to produce an innovative combination of flavours.

“All good things come to those who wait.”
Being a small hands on producer allows us the freedom and the attention to detail you’d expect from your own pastry chef. Without compromise, a classic puff pastry requires 2-3 days before it’s ready for the oven. Biscotti, pastries and creams alike have their own process. With this in mind, our pasticceria range is all made to order and require 3 days notice.
