Sorbetto: All About Fruit

This delightful thirst-quenching frozen dessert is made from fruit puree and whipped to achieve an ultra light and smooth texture. Sorbetti (plural form of sorbetto) is all about fruit and then some. These frozen desserts rely on fresh fruit juice and sugar for flavor and contain no eggs, cream or milk (dairy free), so don't confuse sorbets with sherbets, which have milk added for creaminess. For those of you who are lactose intolerant or counting calories, sorbetto is a delightful dessert that is perfect for you.

You will find popular gelato flavors, such as hazelnut, pistachio, chocolate, straciatella in Northern Italy, whereas the South prides itself with bringing mouth-watering and refreshing sorbetto flavors, such as strawberry, watermelon and lemon.

Our Lemon Sorbetto is just oozing with freshness

If you go to a respectable gelateria (ice cream parlor) in Italy, like Giolitti in Rome, you will find that your taste buds will be titillated by vast choices available of milk/cream-based gelati (Italian ice cream) and fruit-based sorbetti (Italian ice/sorbet).

Jakartans, you don't have to travel all the way to Italy to have a taste. Drop by Mama's Gelato & Pizzeria at Pondok Indah Mal 1 - Ground Floor, and let our gelati & sorbetti do the work and transport your taste buds there!
