Chocolate & Vanilla Bean Swirl Gelato

"In Italian, “gelato” is the word for “ice cream” in general. Most Italian ice cream, however, is made in a certain style—so when stateside treat-seekers are referring to gelato, they are typically talking about an Italian-style ice cream. An ice cream that’s intensely creamy, yet surprisingly refreshing. An ice cream that’s wondrously light, yet velvety and dense. TJ’s Chocolate & Vanilla Bean Swirl Gelato is made for us by an Italian supplier using more milk than cream, yielding a lower butterfat content than you’d find in American-style ice cream. This gives the Gelato a light, refreshing quality while still remaining delectably smooth and creamy, and allows its Chocolate and Vanilla Bean flavors (courtesy of cocoa, semisweet chocolate, and actual vanilla bean specks) and its sweet, chocolate-sauce Swirl to really shine. Instead of a traditional pint, we’ve very intentionally packed our Chocolate & Vanilla Bean Swirl Gelato in a 1.9-pint (900mL), clear, rectangular tub. Peel off the lid, and the Gelato’s dazzling peaks and swirls will conjure up all the beautifully decorated, sumptuous ripples you’d find in an authentic, Italian gelateria! It’s such a pretty sight that you’ll want to serve it at all your summer soirées, out in the open for all to admire."
