No one makes Chicago Brick anymore Colonial made it for awhile but I believe it was a Dean's flavor also discontinued. So I but some Orange Sherbet and the TJ's caramel and I'm 12 again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-85863039450771142812015-02-06T00:10:47.172-05:002015-02-06T00:10:47.172-05:00Yeah, I did let it sit out for five or 10 minutes ...Yeah, I did let it sit out for five or 10 minutes to soften-up nicely. It just seems like it has waaay too much carob bean gum in it, leaves my mouth coated with a gooey artificial emulsifier feeling. I have some TJ French Vanilla too; it's got carob bean and guar gums in it, but doesn't overwhelm with the sensation of artificial emulsifiers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-89323767097166439862015-02-04T12:32:45.167-05:002015-02-04T12:32:45.167-05:00Anon, did you let it properly temper?

Gelato can be gummy if you don't let it sit out for a little bit for it to reach the right temperature.Nick Rovohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431863638273330331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-15412227010992460092015-02-03T23:43:10.345-05:002015-02-03T23:43:10.345-05:00Interesting, people seem to love this stuff.

Looking on a Talenti container, the plant numbers do match up so it is indeed Talenti who makes the gelato.

Will definitely be trying to grab it again soon though!<br /><br />Ian, nope it's not made by Talenti either.
