Mascarpone & Berries Gelato - 4 Pints

Combining old-world methods and curiosity for innovation, Dolcezza crafts an exquisite gelato with a conscience. Most ingredients are grown locally by their farmer friends, who hand-pick their produce at peak ripeness before bringing it to the market the next day. Dolcezza Gelato’s Mascarpone & Berries is the refreshing treat you have been searching for. Tart, creamy mascarpone cheese gelato is carefully folded together with a strawberry, raspberry, blueberry jam. A true taste of the farmer’s market.

Husband and wife Robb Duncan and Violetta Edelman were on a whirlwind tour of South America when they were struck with inspiration while enjoying gelato at a famous shop in Buenos Aires. In July 2004, they opened a gelato shop of their own in Washington, D.C.’s Georgetown neighborhood, and since then Dolcezza Gelato has become a local institution, serving daily-made gelato and expertly crafted coffee drinks. The Dolcezza team produces small batches of hand-made gelato every morning using the best available ingredients: local fruits, herbs, nuts, cheese, milk, and cream. Most ingredients are grown by local farmers. They squeeze the citrus one by one, melt the chocolate, infuse the herbs, grind the nuts. and roast the spices, all with their own hands, every step of the way.
