Gelato
Cioccolato
is basic chocolate
Bacio
named for the famous chocolate candies that come from perugia, this is a chocolate hazelnut combination not unlike nutella (which is another common gelato flavor), often with bits of hazelnuts in the mix.
Gianduja Or Gianduia
either way its spelled, it means the same thing a creamy combination of milk chocolate and hazelnut. this flavor comes primarily from the piedmont region, but it can be found throughout italy.
Pistacchio
im not going to define this one, because if you read english youll know what it is. the important thing here it to learn that the ch in the middle of this word has a k sound (not an sh sound). also good to know its a very popular flavor.
Mandorla
almond
Nocciola
this is hazelnut all by itself (not combined with chocolate, as listed above).
Castagna
chestnut
Fior Di Latte
perhaps the base flavor for all cream (or even chocolate) flavors, this is literally flower of milk and its a wonderfully subtle sweet cream flavor.
Zabaione
this is based on a dessert of the same name, made from (among other things) egg yolks and sweet marsala wine. so its an eggy and custardy flavor, with an overtone of marsala.
Cocco
coconut
Caffe
just in case you arent getting enough coffee flavor in your daily morning espresso, heres the gelato version.
Amarena
though it has fruit in it, its a cream base, so im sticking it in this category. this is another personal favorite its basically fior di latte with a sauce of sour cherries kind of mixed in. the cherries have been stewed in something, and i have no idea what it is, but theyre chewy and delicious, and youre likely to get at least one whole cherry (without the pit, of course) in your scoop.
Fragola
strawberry
Lampone
raspberry
Limone
lemon
Melone
melon (usually cantaloupe)
Albicocca
apricot
Fico
fig
Tarocco
blood orange (not very common)
Frutti Di Bosco
these arent fruits belonging to some guy named bosco, this means fruits of the forest, generally things like blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.
Mela
apple (also look for mela verde (meh-lah vehr-day), or green apple)
Pera
pear
Pesca
peach
Zuppa Inglese
literally this is english soup, but its referring to that popular english dessert called trifle. its a custardy flavored base with bits of cookies (instead of sponge cake) and often a sweet wine like madeira or sherry.
Riso
this is literally rice, but is more akin to the gelato version of rice pudding. and yes, there are bits of rice in it.
Malaga
rum raisin
Stracciatella
if you think of this kind of like the italian gelato equivalent of chocolate chip ice cream, youre in the ballpark. its a fior di latte base with chocolate bits in it. the chocolate has usually been drizzled over the top of the just-made gelato and then mixed in after its hardened.
Cannella
this is cinnamon, and although its not that common its really a delight. its not like a super-hot cinnamon, but just a nice representation of the spice. consider pairing this with fruit flavors like pear or apple, or with chocolate.
Vanilla
vanilla
Cannoli
just like the pastry shop in sicily, cannoli gelato is a delectable mix of mascarpone flavor and chocolate chips.
Amaretto Di Saronno
amaretto is a liqueur with the distinct flavour of almonds, though its often made with apricot pit kernels. the original liqueur, amaretto di saronno, hails from saronno, italy. many distilleries produce their own amaretto now, however.
Panna Cotta
is an italian dessert made by simmering together cream, milk, and sugar then mixing this with gelatin and letting it cool until set. it is generally from the northern italian region of piemonte
Tiramisu
it is made of savoiardi otherwise known as lady finger biscuits dipped in espresso or strong coffee or rum, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks, mascarpone cheese, and sugar, topped with cocoa.
