[By Nick] Writing for On Second Scoop does have its perks. One of those being that I’m able to try brands I never would’ve had the opportunity otherwise.
G.S. Gelato is one of those companies. Out of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, G.S. was only on my radar because I saw a couple of their products on Ice Cream Source awhile back. G.S. is actually a newcomer on the frozen dessert scene when they opened up shop in early 1996. It was started by a couple who moved to Florida from Italy and was determined to bring authentic Italian gelato to America. G.S. offers their products in all different forms. From offering retail products to being able to open up your own Gelataria, they are there for whatever you need. After some pleasant emails with the fine folks at G.S. Gelato, they sent over two free pints of their gelato as well as two free pints of their sorbetto. Seeing as we don’t cover
sorbetto all that often, I decided we’ll start there with their Mango Sorbetto.
A quick refresher course in sorbetto: first of all from my extensive research sorbetto = sorbet. I’m going to keep typing sorbetto though because it makes me feel fancy. In a nutshell though, sorbetto is just a frozen dessert made from sweetened water flavored with fruit. Unlike ice cream which uses dairy products and has air whipped into it, sorbetto has neither of those two elements. Okay, that’s your crash course in sorbetto, if you want to learn more go ask google or something.
Now if using the word sorbetto makes me feel fancy, the container only adds to the fancy factor. It just looks elegant with its wavy ruby red coloring. They add in a yellow stripe that works perfectly with the color of the sliced mangos on the package. Props on use of color contrasting G.S., other companies need to make their products more eye-catching.
