Tartufos are here!

Tartufos are here! These moulded gelato balls offer two flavours – one inside another – rolled in a yummy outer delicacy creating a taste-sensation that is out of this world. “Tartufo”, meaning “truffle” in Italian, is traditionally a ball of chocolate gelato with another flavour inside, made to resemble the prized fungi of France. These delicacies are not simply scooped like gelato, but rather moulded into frozen balls to be presented as individual servings.

Where to find them? BIBO wine bar in Nelson offers three varieties of tartufos that we make exclusively for their dessert menu: Chocolate/Raspberry, Mandarin/Coconut and Hazelnut/Vanilla are available now. Next time you are looking for that perfect summer-evening desert, think of a delicious gelato tartufo on the BIBO patio.

For a dairy-free option, Raspberry/Mandarin (shown in the photo) is a refreshing treat coming soon this summer. Ask for it!

100 Mile Strawberry Honey Sorbet

This spring has been a warm one and apparently local strawberries will be ripe for the picking mid June. Though Strawberry Sorbet is always a welcomed favorite this time of year, Little Miss Gelato is hoping to do things a bit differently this year. With local honey available and yummy strawberries grown in our backyard, we are hoping to have a 100 Mile Strawberry Honey Sorbet. All the ingredients will be sourced within a 100 miles so stay tuned for the first batch later this month.

Welcome

Little Miss G is bloggin' and we would like to invite all our friends and valued customers to check out our new blog.

We will feature gelato news including flavours, special events and "cool" things that are hip-hop-happening in the West Kootenays.

We welcome comments, suggestions, photos and especially personal antic dotes pertaining to our delicioso product.
