Capogiro Artisan Gelato




Ever wonder who does the best ice cream? Well according to the National Geographic magazine, gelato maker Capogiro who has 4 cafes in Philadelphia makes the worlds best tasting gelato beating countries like Argentina, Australia, Italy, Turkey. The report reads "The artisan gelatos and sorbettos handcrafted each day . . . include flavors not seen anywhere else." Their website states they are devoted to using hand picked ingredients which are fresh and seasonal. The milk is from Amish grass fed cows. Not happy with just one source, I did some more research and the food buster blogs author carried out his own taste test in January this year and confirmed Capogiro is the king of frozen treats. The gelato captures the flavour of whatever special ingredient it uses almost perfectly.
A sample of available flavours  are Madagascar bourbon vanilla, melograno (pomegranate), nocciola Piemonte (hazelnut), Saigon cinnamon, Thai coconut milk (with a dash of rum), and zucca (long-neck pumpkin). I  haven't visited America yet but when I do rest assured I'll be making a pit stop in Capogiros to make sure the hype is justified.
