Talenti Chocolate Pretzel Gelato
Layers #74
salted pretzel gelato, chocolatey waffle cone pieces,
salted pretzel sauce, vanilla gelato, chocolate flakes
A seal? That's new.
Side note: have you noticed that Talenti containers are greenish now?
I admit it, I didn't read what the different layers were before opening the
container, so I was very surprised to see this pretzel gelato.... well, I should say happily surprised!
I take a bite and think "wow, this might be really good!". I take another bite
and realize that I am already smitten with this flavor. It's been awhile since
someone did pretzels justice and the swirl here is kind of delicious,
especially when paired with that bit of pretzel boost from the top layer of
pretzel gelato. Boy this one is fun.
Now, granted, I'm not getting a super ton of cone bits or chocolate bits on my
spoon, but the overall salty pretzel flavor coming out of here is just spot
on. It's puts Breyer's recent pretzel flavor to shame. This isn't an air of
pretzel or a even a soggy pretzel vibe, this is a true pretzel flavor and I am
a huge fan.
I know sometimes the gelato texture can be a bit light in these layered pints, but
between the seal on top and the textured swirl, it is not an issue here.
Really well done job Talenti. I hope this one catches on with more than just
us pretzel fans.
On Second Scoop: I really dig this one and I've bought another pint before I even finished this pint. Yes, it's that delicious. The salty pretzel swirl has a bit of rich cookie dough vibe to it. They've really worked some magic here. Excellent job Talenti.

Verdict? EXCELLENT!

Salt, check; pretzel, check; chocolate, check. Where's the peanut butter?!
ReplyDeleteUnderstandable... but I personally say nay! It's nice to have a peanut free pretzel flavor now and then :)
ReplyDeleteDid you get a chance to try their peanut butter pretzel flavor?

Love the clear view of the layers and the container is perfect to reuse again for other food items.
ReplyDeleteI haven't bought from them in ages, I'll have to give this one a try!
ReplyDeleteDubba, did you help contribute to the crash of Jeni's website for her new Dolly Parton ice cream? It has the pretzel vibe that you like. You definitely sold me on this sweet-salty Talenti one.
ReplyDeleteThanks to your review, I bought this flavor, and finished it in one sitting. I went back and bought 4 more!!!
ReplyDelete@U#1: I've saved one of every Talenti container since I started it many years ago.
ReplyDelete@D: Do it!
@A: HAHAHA, wasn't me! (sounds very interesting though!)
@U#2: WOOT!
See, I KNEW you'd love this-- and glad you did! They should sell that pretzel sauce in a jar. By the way, have you noticed that some of the new pints have paper seals, but others don't? It's throwing me for a bit of a loop.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first time seeing the paper seal. I'd hazard a guess that we'll eventually see it across all of their pints (or at least all of the layered flavors)
ReplyDeleteHey - I think that green / brown tint of the plastic bottle is because it might be recycled material. Really cool if they truly moved to 100% PCR.
ReplyDeleteShould have gone all pretzel gelato instead of the middle layer being vanilla. It was great until I got there and then boring.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'd given up on Talenti for awhile what with declining quality, but will go ahead and give this one a try. (Wouldn't hurt to restock the container stash either. Squirrels have chewed a couple.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reporting!
