Olive Oil Ice Cream and Sea Salt

Here is a soft serve we’re sure even Dua Lipa would say “Pretty Please” to! We have joined together with Maldon to create a vanilla gelato enhanced with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Salt Flakes! Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. It starts out with a similar custard base as ice cream but has a higher proportion of milk and a lower proportion of cream and eggs (or no eggs at all). It is churned at a much slower rate, incorporating less air and leaving the gelato denser than ice cream.
