It has been at least an hour now since my last visit to Gelato Messina, and my tastebuds are still dancing, my mouth still abuzz with the memory of its dreamy encounter.
With the inspiration for most of Messina’s gelato’s being derived from desserts, cakes and sweets, it is almost impossible to decide which of the veritable cornucopia of flavours to spoil yourself with. But do not fear - the incredibly helpful Messina staff, who are bona fide gelato experts, are brilliant at helping you to decide which flavour suits your particular taste and mood. Furthermore, no matter what your choice might be, each glossy mountain of indulgence – and art form in itself – is guaranteed satisfaction (I speak with experience on this point after a flavour sampling frenzy).
My personal favourite, the ‘Dulce de Leche’ (translated, it means ‘milk jam’), is pure creamery caramel confection – so luscious and smooth, it is almost palate cleansing in spite of its incredible intensity. Another must-try is the ‘Apple Pie’. It is almost shocking just how well this gelato manages to capture the flavours of real, home made style apple pie. While the sumptuous, yet delicately flavoured gelato is spectacular on its own, it is the addition of buttery chunks of pastry crust and generous squares of caramelized apple that make it truly unique. Wow.
I sense a new addiction coming on…
