Dolcezza Mascarpone & Berries Gelato


So I finally tried Dolcezza this summer, though I had a dilemma when I picked that first pint. Sure, I wound up going with the strawberry, but what first caught my eye was....

Dolcezza Mascarpone & Berries Gelato #005
mascarpone cheese gelato
with a raspberry, strawberry, and blackberry jam swirl

Hmmmmmm..

I dig in and wow, this one is kind of the evil twin of High Road's Blueberry Ricotta. That pint had a excellent cheese flavored base but the swirl was pretty mild. Here, it's the base that's mild and a swirl that is oh so bright.

"Bright?" you say, that's my word for when a fruity flavor is both very flavorful, but has a good bit of tart bite to it. I hate saying tart because it's not tart in a bad way. It's just that excellent pop you get with certain quality fruit flavors.

So yeah, I'm a fan.

On Second Scoop: This one is so good, I stretched the pint to three servings just so I could enjoy it more. Because it's so flavorful, you don't need a huge bunch of it to get that afternoon snack pop. I will definitely get this one again.

Verdict?  Excellent
Buy Again?  YES!

  1. Was the base dry/gritty for you? Me and my family both said it was too dry to actually enjoy, even after extended tempering.

    1. Yes! It tastes like sand in your mouth and I actually kept coughing as I was eating it. Made it into a milkshake but will probably avoid this one. My bf also got the peanut butter one and it was not as noticeable but still a bit gritty.

  2. I had a little bit of that when I tried the strawberry, but I didn't notice it here.

  3. Allow it to warm up on the counter a little bit so it gets soft - brings out the flavor more. Didn't notice any grit. Absolutely love this and will buy again. Certified bomb-ass flavor. Found at Natural Grocer's MLK in Portland, OR.

  6. Bought it at Grassroots natural grocery store in Jacksonville, Florida. I highly recommend this flavor, this brand, and this awesome little Grassroots store. Ice cream is my favorite dessert, and this Dolcezza gelato flavor is now one of my faves. It's like summer in a pint.
