Talenti Chocolate Chip Cookie Batter

[New for Early 2025] Yes, I gave in and tried Snickerdoodle first, and it's a solid flavor, but let's see if this one cant bring the thunder.

Talenti Snickerdoodle Cookie

[New for Early 2025] I was running through Stop & Shop when I found two of the new bakery collection lineup. They didn't have Tiramisu, but they did have chocolate chip cookie batter and....

New Stuff for 2025

Now I've seen a few new things pop up on instagram, but now I'm running in to new stuff online as well, so let me share what I've stumbled upon so far. First up, I found the new "Bakery Collection" over on the Talenti website. We're going to get three new layered flavors and you can be sure that I'll be testing all three: Italian Tiramisu, Snickerdoodle Cookie, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Batter.

Non-Dairy Strawberry Showdown

I wasn't sure how excited you would all be about the new oat milk based options from Walmart, but then I realized we could have a little fun with it. I recently picked up a pint of Talenti's retooled recipe #80 (summer strawberry sorbetto), so why not compare that strawberry non-dairy option to Walmart's non-dairy strawberry option? Could be fun... maybe. Let's find out!

Talenti Honey Graham Gelato #61

[New for 2021] While updating the Talenti flavor list, I realized that I had never tried 2021's Honey Graham flavor. Granted, I tend not to like honey flavors, but I do love graham flavors, so let's see what happens when I try....

Talenti Cookies and Cream Gelato Layers

[New for 2021] So apparently I never tried this flavor, which is a shame, because it's pretty good, especially when you get all five layers on your spoon (people say this isn't possible, but I do it all the time). Alright, let's quickly run through...

Talenti Double Cookie Crunch Dairy-Free Gelato

[New for Early 2023] Talenti has always had dairy-free options via their sorbetto options, though it wasn't until 2018 that they started calling them "dairy free sorbetto". Things are changing again in 2023. With Unilever as their parent company, they are joining their frozen treat siblings (like Ben & Jerry's and Breyers) by offering dairy alternatives. Two of them use cashew butter, and the other two are using oat milk. I won't be bringing the cashew butter ones home, so let's try....

Talenti Vanilla Caramel Mini Gelato Bars

[New for 2023] Something new already? That's right! I went ice cream hunting this week and managed to find one whole new product line. Oh boy! I wasn't super excited for this new line up of four mini bars at first, but click on through to see that it was worth it.

Talenti Salted Chocolate Churro Gelato Pairings

[New for 2022] Is 2022 trying to cheer us up with 3 mainstream churro flavors?

Talenti Caramel Pretzels Blondie

[New for 2022] After the epic disappointment that was the strawberry margarita pairing, let's try again with a flavor that has one of my favorite words in the name. That's right, Talenti has put out another pretzel flavor and I am pretty stoked to try....

Talenti Strawberry Margarita Sorbetto Pairings

[New for 2022] There are four new Talenti pairings this year.... and I managed to pick the one that I hated from the very first (tiny) bite.

Talenti Strawberry Shortcake Gelato Layers

[New for 2021] Geez, I sure have been eating a lot of strawberry things this summer, though I should point out that this is the only one that I was excited to try. I'm a sucker for these gimmicky Talenti pints, so let's break out the big spoon for...

Talenti Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Gelato Layers

I'm not sure why, but I thought I had already tried this one (because I had tried it in 2019!). I'm pretty sure I've walked by it a few times and totally spaced on needing to try it. Well, I'm at Stop & Shop and nothing else has my attention right now, so let's dive in to...  a flavor a tried two years ago. Oh geez, sorry everyone.

Talenti Chocolate Pretzel Gelato Layers

[New for 2021] Everyone remembers that I love pretzels right? I spent the first couple decades of my life consuming vast quantities of them. I may be down to a handful every day or two, but I still think very highly of them. Let's see if Talenti can do them justice here.

Talenti Vanilla Peanut Butter Swirl Gelato

[New for 2021] Heading back to the office for the day means I can pick up another peanut butter snack on my way in. Ok, technically I wasn't bent on a nutty flavor, but I was certainly open to it.

Talenti Confetti Cookie Gelato Layers

[New for 2021] Alrighty, time for our first official review of a 2021 product. There are four new Talenti layers flavors but this was the only one left in stock at Stop & Shop (though it's so fun looking, you think it would be the first to go). Let's check out....

Talenti Pumpkin Pie Gelato Layers

[New for Fall 2020] For the first time in forever, I feel like I've found something before anyone else. I had not seen anything about this product until it was staring me in the face (next to the returning B&J's Pumpkin Cheesecake and the new Eggo Pumpkin Pie Pancakes). Back in the old days, I might get the scoop on something like Ben & Jerry's Greek Froyo hitting my local shelves before anywhere else (link), but with so many people trying to be the next big instagram hit, it's so hard to be truly surprised anymore. Well, color me surprised and very happy!

Talenti Dark Chocolate Dairy-Free Sorbetto Talenti Strawberry Hibiscus Dairy-Free Sorbetto

[New for 2020 - SH retired] Ok, I know it's now June August, but in my defense, I took this first picture in mid April. It was yet another of our weird late season snowfalls and it seemed like a fun time to break in to the shipment of free samples that Unilever sent over.

Talenti Oak Aged Vanilla & Chocolate Mousse Gelato

[New for 2019] One thing that has been on my to do list is to finish trying all of the organic flavors from Talenti. I only snuck one in last year but I'm not sure that I got the greatest of pints (aka bit o' freezerburn). Well, fast forward to now when I stumbled upon...

[New for 2020] I mentioned that there was one more free layer sample that I needed to try in my last post. You all know coffee is not my thing, but part of me is still curious about...
