Italian gelato is a great year round treat, whether you’re wandering the streets of Rome or Milan or enjoying it at home. The range of gelato available can be vast and there are so many different options to try. When it comes to flavours, these can usually be broken down into five major types: fruit, chocolate, nuts, cream and the tastes that don’t fit into any category. These are some of our favourites to try from each one:

Take a wander around any Italian town and you’ll be able to pick up a gelato no matter what the time of year. This tasty chilled treat isn’t exclusively for summer – it can brighten up the dullest of winter days and there are a range of opportunities for trying out different seasonal flavours if you don’t restrict yourself to summer consumption only. Plus, if you’re keen to eat gelato like a true Italian then you should definitely be enjoying it all year round.

Even the coldest climates can enjoy ice cream – and many would argue that this is in fact the best time to enjoy the sweet treat! If you’re picturing eating a deliciously cool ice cream in the summer months, but struggling to image the same in the cooler seasons, here are 5 reasons why winter might actually be the most ideal time to enjoy ice cream after all…

It might sound controversial but the opinion that eating ice cream is actually better in the winter months is starting to become more widespread. As we head into the deepest and darkest season of the year ice cream sales are probably at their lowest. And that means many people are missing out, not just on a number of interesting nutritional benefits, but also on a great big dose of wellness too.

Ice cream is something that we all crave sometimes. It might seem like a much more natural choice during the summer but this delicious dessert can also be a big treat in the winter. Even when the temperatures are low outside there are still some very good reasons to make sure you keep enjoying your favourite flavours.

Have you ever thought that a refreshing ice cream is just what you needed in the hot summer sun, but when you’ve started to eat it, you’ve found it’s been a race against time to finish it before it melts? So we’d like to propose that ice cream is much better in the winter months!

The winter season is definitely here and that means frosty mornings and twinkling lights, Christmas shopping and festive countdowns. When it comes to food we often look for hot and warming plates and puddings when the temperature drops. However, ice cream still has a place on your table at this time of year. In fact there are three good reasons why you should still be eating ice cream in winter.

Ice cream is a delicious treat that can be enjoyed all year round – yes, really! Even when the weather is cold or damp outside there is still a lot of pleasure to be had from a few scoops of your favourite flavour. All you need to do to enjoy ice cream in the winter – and to convince all your friends and family too – is know the best ways to serve and eat it.

During the summer months we all tend to be pretty enthusiastic about smoothies and juices, as our appetites are smaller and our bodies are warm. There are lots of great nutritional benefits to smoothies so it makes sense to keep consuming them all year round – but would you want to? These 5 winter smoothie recipes are perfect for the colder months of the year and will help you to maintain nutrition, as well as being thoroughly enjoyable (and warming) to eat.

At this time of year the burning question isn’t choosing between ice cream or gelato but whether you should be eating either of them at all. Winter is traditionally a season of hot soups and warming puddings, as opposed to a season when we’re looking for a cooling treat. However, it’s actually also the perfect time of year to enjoy an ice cream or a gelato – whichever you prefer – and there are some very good reasons for this.
