Italian gelato is omnipresent in Florence enticing locals and tourists alike for a quick, refreshing treat. A squat paper cup or cone holds a heavenly piece of the rainbow.Arabs brought sorbetto to Sicily and it's been said that gelato was first created for the court of the Medici in 1565. The gelaterie compete for the most delightful recipe. Unlike ice cream with pastel, muted colours, gelato uses a combination of whole milk, eggs, sugar, and natural fruits to create intensely rich colours. The gelato, which we have enjoyed so far, is rich yet light, and flavourful with no lingering after taste.
Then there is always the waffle that one can enjoy with gelato to double the pleasure.
