Talenti Salted Peanut Caramel Gelato
Talenti Salted Peanut Caramel Gelato is labeled as "salted peanut gelato with dry-roasted peanuts and a salted caramel swirl". After reading positive reviews from On Second Scoop & Powered By Ice Cream I was forced to give this one a scoop. After having Sea Salt Caramel in the past (which was my favorite), and various other flavors I am eager to see how this one stacks on the Talenti line as a quality flavor.
Upon lifting the lid you are presented to what seems like a vanilla looking base. This is where it may be delusional to the consumers eye upon first bite, and getting a lingering peanut brittle taste. The base is unique, and even labeled as salted peanut gelato, it has that peanut brittle sweet/salty combination that is damn near perfect. Not to sweet, nor too salty, but leaves a great aftertaste that had me scooping my second bite in seconds. There is a hint of caramel richness that compliments from the caramel swirl, and hints of mini peanuts that were present after the first few scoops.
After a few bites I started to really dig the caramel swirl. The compliment to the unique base has a very luscious and rich caramel taste that reminded me of the insides of a snickers bar. You get a very dense flavored caramel, scattered pieces of peanuts as you dig down the pint, but instead of a chocolate coating (think candy bar here) you have a sweet/salty peanut brittle coating(base). Put all of this together and you get Talenti's Salted Peanut Caramel in a nutshell. Unique, delicious, and a great job on a sweet/salty ratio gets a good grade from myself. I would still not place this above Sea Salt Caramel, but it is deserving of a scoop! A little more of the peanuts, and a thicker swirl would of gave this an A grade.
