Dutch Chocolate (There it is. Over in the corner. Dojo’s Dutch Chocolate Gelato. Doing a hundred and one push-ups.)
Kinderschokolade (Crumbled up Kinder Chocolate bars from Germany with our Fior di Latte gelato.)
Mexican Vanilla (Said to be the “Queen of Vanilla” because it contains the highest concentration of vanillin. The aroma is intoxicating, like Salma Hayek or Javier Bardem.)
Peppermint Stracciatella (The words stracciatella comes from the Italian stracciato for “torn apart.” That’s what happens when we melt milk chocolate and spread it, still warm, throughout this gelato. Ribbons of chocolate instantly harden and tear apart as it meets the cooler gelato. The result? “I get lost, in your eyes. And I feel my spirits rise and soar like the wind….”
Coconut (Did you know that next month it’s going to be summer in Australia?)
Cranberry Sorbetto (The fresh cranberry’s give this beautiful sorbetto a natural vibrant pink color. Refreshingly tart!)
Churro (Mexican Vanilla Bean + Saigon Cinnamon)
French Caramel (Fleur de sel from Brittany, France + Dojo made caramel. Once a young woman visited our store and was overtly curious about our gelati. She approached our display case. She looked. She sampled. She looked some more. Then she spotted our French Caramel. We offered her a taste. She declined. Instead, she immediately requested a large serving. While giving her change we spied her enjoying her gelato. Was she pleased? It was then she admitted to us that she was from Paris and the taste of our French Caramel gelato reminded her of home. We will remember her compliment forever.)
Pumpkin and Spice (If you could turn your grandmother’s pumpkin pie in to gelato, this is what it would taste like. Promise.)
Cardamom (Cardamom—a member of the ginger family—gives this gelato an intense fragrance. The flavor association that comes to mind for our Cardamom gelato is chai tea.)
Nocciola (The ingredients for our hazelnut gelato: Some milk, some cream, some sugar, a gang of hazelnuts. No fillers. No extenders. No “cost effective” shortcuts with nut flavored extracts. When we get daydreamy about gelato, it’s usual because of our Nocciola. Try pairing this one with our Dutch chocolate for another classic flavor, Gianduja.
Chesapeake Apple Sorbetto (Local Chesapeake apples from Backyard Orchard. Two words that keep being mentioned with this sorbetto are “crisp” and “fresh.” A nice palette cleanser.)
See y’all soon!
Love, Dojo
