Remeo Gelato: N.4 Pistacchio Siciliano

Being the foodie that I am, I am always on the look out for good food and desserts and I must admit I fell in love with this tub of gelato. Wait a minute, before I proceed, what say is the difference between an ice cream and a gelato? Most people get confused with this. Well for starters, gelato is less fattier than ice cream, but both these desserts are actually packed with a lot of sugar. So always eat it in moderation. Texture-wise gelato is much silkier than ice cream. It is a bit denser too thus, making it more flavour-packed than the traditional ice cream. Ice cream's greater air content accounts for its soft and light texture. While its greater butterfat content accounts for its lesser flavour as butterfat delays flavour detection of the taste buds as it gets coated by fat. Lastly, although both are frozen treats, ice cream is known to be served colder than gelato. Anyway I could go on and on about this but all I really wanted to do was write an appreciation post for this lovely dessert.

This is N.4 Pistacchio Siciliano by Remeo. Made from Sicilian pistachios which are said to be the best in the world. I love anything with pistachios. If you want to be my friend give me a bag of pistachios and I will be your best friend forever (Haha). As you can see on the photo above, on top of the gelato is a sprinkle of these amazing nuts. So of course it was a guaranteed "yes" for my palate. These tubs are made from Italy and exported weekly to the UK to ensure its freshness. They claim to be gluten free for our gluten intolerant folks. Aside from its exuberant taste and surprising affordability, the plastic packaging that contains it is 100% made from recycled plastic so it made an effort to be environmentally friendly. I couldn't emphasise more how I love this dessert. If there was something I could change about it, it would only be to have more solid pistachios, not only on the top of the gelato, but also at its very centre.

So next time you go to the shops, have a look at the frozen sections and if you see this have a try!
