Talenti Hazelnut Chocolate Chip
After trying almost all the new flavors off the talenti line I have two left in Hazelnut Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. This flavor (Hazelnut Chocolate Chip) has got some of the best reviews from Powered by Ice Cream, The Ice Cream Informant, and On Second Scoop. With that said I have very high expectations going into this one considering I love hazelnut spread(like Nutella) and chocolate chips. Both of which were high attributes in all of the reviews I have read regarding this pint, let us see where this one stands in the new offerings Talenti has put out in 2015.
Talenti Hazelnut Chocolate Chip is labeled as "Hazelnut gelato with hazelnuts and chocolate chips". I have not had the regular Hazelnut offering from Talenti after a lot of disappointing reviews. Upon my first bite I got a nice taste of hazelnut that had a small nutella like aftertaste combined with it. After reading other reviews many have stated this base is much better than the original hazelnut base by a long shot. The small chocolate/hazelnut/nutella offering in each bite is really unique, and as a matter in fact one of Talenti's best bases I have tried after having this pint.
As far as the mix-ins go in this pint you are offered the standard Talenti chocolate chips with the same great texture and flavor as ever. Small smashed pieces of chocolate spread throughout the point that were incredibly plentiful t(similar to the amount of truffles in Sea Salt Caramel). The flavor of the chocolate chips offer enough chocolate not to overtake the hazelnut base or the hazelnut mix-ins provided. The hazelnuts on the other hand are small chunks (larger in size than the chocolate chip pieces) and are scattered around the chocolate chips throughout the pint. The hazelnut chunks have a dense texture to them, but provide a nice crunch with the chocolate chips in a solid base.
If you are looking for a very creamy, chocolate, and crunchy offering Talenti basically perfected it with Hazelnut Chocolate Chip. Massive amount's of chocolate chips in every single bite, a hazelnut base with a small chocolate/nutella aftertaste, and legit chunks of hazelnuts thrown into the mix. There is a lot going on in each and every bite throughout this offering. With the surreal amount of mix-ins this placed right near the top next to Sea Salt Caramel in my opinion. I was very pleased with this and have no doubts I would offer or suggest this to anyone out there.
