I’ve tried all of the gelaterie in every place I’ve been in Italy over a lifetime, and the clear winner is this Florentine company. Without a doubt.

I can’t treat myself to this heavenly stuff more than once a month, just for health reasons. But this was my July treat. I’m already looking forward to agosto!

This day I chose caramello salato which is salted caramel. It was insanely good!

But typically I go here for their Buontalenti flavor, which was developed by the 16th century architect of the same name, according to tradition. And tradition is everything!
