Cultured Palate: Dishes from Italy

12. Gelato
Similar to ice cream, but denser and lower in fat, there are numerous restrictions on what can be called gelato in Italy, ensuring that only the highest quality products are served. Make sure when you’re out hunting for good gelato, that you take note of the colors being scooped — good gelato shouldn’t have any artificial colouring. A good test of this is the pistachio flavor as it should look brownish-green and dull colored. If you ever see a shop serving bright green pistachio gelato, keep walking.
