New Talenti Flavors for 2016


So I ran in to Stop & Shop (Giant) this morning with the hopes of finding that new brownie batter core from Ben & Jerry's, but something wonderful distracted me. That's right, we now have...

The New 2016 Talenti Gelato & Sorbetto Flavors

  #38 - Chocolate Sorbetto (review here)
  #39 - Vanilla Caramel Swirl Gelato (review here)
  #40 - Coconut Almond Chocolate Gelato
  #41 - Key Lime Pie Gelato (review here)
  #42 - Peanut Butter Pretzel Gelato (review here)
  #43 - Wild Blackberry (review here)
  (PE) - Peach Butter Biscuit (review here)

I don't have official descriptions yet but I think the names are pretty straight forward. I get a kick out of the white labeling on the chocolate sorbetto (a labeling first for talenti, and we havent seen a new sorbetto from them in 3 years). Vanilla Caramel Swirl seems like their caramel cookie crunch without the crunch. Coconut Almond Chocolate seems to be a mix of their coconut chocolate chip and almond flavors. Peanut Butter Pretzel seems to be a variation of their #26 Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel that was a Publix exclusive. It ditches the chocolate swirl for a peanut butter one and now uses pretzel balls instead of pretzel sticks. Key Lime Pie totally seems to be in Talenti's wheelhouse.

Update: Wild Blackerry photos thanks to Brandon!

Update #2: Photos of the Publix exclusive Talenti Peach Butter Biscuit Gelato thanks to Sarah. Hmmm, weird, there's actually a nut (and egg) allergy warning on it.

Note: Here is the list of all Talenti flavors

  3. What is the difference between sorbet and sorbetto? And how do they compare to sherbet? I could google but I'm asking for your opinion...

    And that was my response too...a brownie batter core sounds amazing! Especially if it's half vanilla ice cream and half chocolate, Like in the old fudge truffle core flavor that was incredible.

  5. Sorbetto and Sorbet are the same thing and generally refer to a non-dairy product. Sherbet is when you mix in a bit of dairy, but not enough to make it ice cream.

  6. @Pc: they redesigned the pretzel component so that it stays crunchy (review will be posted soon)

  8. @Anon: try to shop around if you can, I think the lowest is like $3.99 at walmart and the highest being like $5.99 at whole foods. They've really ramped up production over the years so hopefully you can find a more budget friendly price.

  10. Just saw the full brownie batter description--chocolate and vanilla like I was hoping for, but even better because both flavors also have pieces of brownie!!

    Dubba and/or Nick, I sure hope you will review it!

  11. I've tried four of the new flavors. The vanilla caramel swirl and the coconut chocolate almond are less creative but both solid flavors. I really like the key lime pie, especially the swirl. It was the perfect touch. I thought the wild blackberry was fantastic. It's bit as good as raspberries and cream, but it's definitely a repurchase for me.
