Talenti Sea Salt Caramel Gelato
Talenti Sea Salt Caramel Gelato is labeled as "succulent rich golden Argentinean caramel base brought even further to life with Fleur De Sel sea salt "the caviar of salts". Talenti then bestows luxury and refinement to this trendy new flavor by adding chocolate covered sea salt truffles". Sea Salt caramel is praised to be one of the best offerings from the Talenti line. If you are a caramel or truffle fan there has been talks of landmines of mix-ins. Personally I love a great caramel ice cream. Throw in caramel filled truffles, and it sounds like we have a winning combination. Lets soon find out.
Upon lifting the lid you are presented with a fine caramel looking gelato base. The first scoop literally melts on your spoon with its thin consistency. The creaminess of the gelato has a great taste and saltiness to the gelato base. Right away you are presented with a dose of sea salt washed down by a delicious caramel gelato. The caramel is rich like the center of a milky way frozen into a gelato base. The flavor is pure, quality, and full of caramel sweetness with the hint of sea salt.
The truffles presented in sea salt caramel are spot on. There is no better compliment to this pint than the globs of caramel truffles in almost every spoonful. After you break the initial barrier you soon find the goldmine of truffles. The first bite leaves you thinking of Rolo's candy. A dense milk chocolate outer shell and a creamy, gooey caramel center. The caramel base ice cream can carry this flavor all by it's lonesome, but add this squadron of sweet truffles and it teeters on perfection.
Overall Talenti kept this offering very simple, but struck a perfect balance to create a masterpiece. The base may not have been as pure are 2nd Street's Kopper Kettle Caramel, but Talenti did a great job providing a Gelato with incredible flavor. 2nd Street may get the edge with the added Caramel swirl, but this is no pint to skimp on. If you love caramel, and love caramel filled chocolate you want to grab this. Hands down one of the best off the Talenti line and worth a scoop.
