Cow and Moon Gelato

i have been thinking about gelato the whole week ever since i heard that a local place in Sydney won the best gelato in the world! i mean sydney, compared to the world, it's not really near the top for anything...

was really nice day to have ice cream. the night after they announced it, apparently the lines had over 100 people. when Dandelion and I went, it was around a 15min wait. i shouldn't have told the person in front of me what the award winning flavour is since she got the last scoop ))): it's called Mandorla Affogato which is basically vanilla, coffee and almond flavour. i didn't know Single Origin Roasters use their gelato in their affogatos and they use their coffee, but if you really want Cow and Moon gelato, well you can go to single origin roasters. 

flavours (:

there's not as many flavours as messina, and their flavours aren't as creative as messina. i still managed to get a decent taster of the winning flavour since the person used the paddle pop to scoop out the remaining bits on the side.

medium (3 flavours): turmeric, cardamon, pistachio + lemon and ginger + strawberry and balsamic vinegar-$6.50

i always love going with the different ones, love trying new stuff (: the spices weren't too strong to over power the pistachio. the lemon and ginger was actually sweet, would have liked more acidity and gingeriness. i don't like ginger, but if it's in gelato i don't mind a stronger hit. the vinegar was an after taste imo, but luckily it wasn't too stron since it would be weird. the strawberry wasn't too sweet. we were surprised we were allowed 3 flavours, since you get the impression that with small, medium and large, it's just 1,2,3 scoops...

texture wise, it is harder than normal gelato, it's more in between ice cream and gelato. so it really is personal preference. i prefer a softer gelato.

passionfruit sorbet, black and blue sorbet (i think it's black and blueberry), Quella

passion fruit is nice and the berries had enough acidity. Quella (upon googling) is a type of cream used for gelato with a hazelnut and cocoa flavour. tbh, it tasted like tiramisu but with more alcohol which was actually really nice!

they also ran out of their apple flavour, so i want to go back there again to try the flavours which ran out...

i think i'm still a messina fan.
