Can Gelato Be Good For You
Up until very recently I would have said no.
I would have said a tasty treat that is made of all sorts of crap things containing trans fats and artificial flavors etc can in no way be good for you.
My mind was changed recently however as I read about an ice cream maker in Auckland called @giapo
Gianpaolo owns @giapo and he uses the very best ingredients that contain no artificial flavors, he uses organic fruits and he even goes so far as to check in on the type of farming the providers of the milk do, in other words none of this high volume farming that stresses the cows (yes those stress hormones go into the milk).
After hearing all of this and the report that @giapo makes the best Gelato in the world I thought I better check it out, after all @giapo is only a few minutes away from home.
I arrived at Giapo after tweeting @giapo for a couple of days and Gianpaolo had made a 70% to 80% dark chocolate sorbet….thats right folks a sorbet for me.
I tucked in this sorbet with relish because I am a bit of a chocolate fan and I wanted to taste something that is going to be delicious and because it is fresh and made from great products it is going to be good for me (as long as I don’t eat gallons of it).
The gelato was amazing and because there is no milk in the sorbet and it only had 3 ingredients, none of which were artificial the chocolate treat will not harm my body in any way except for the fact that if I ate too much of it the calories would be too high.
Thats the biggest problem with @giapo…. being able to say no to a second helping.
