Arte Heladero 219 - I/2025

Welcome to a new era of the most sophisticated spice and aromatic ice creams!

The most notable example is Matteo Reggio, who graces the cover with a new selection of aromatic ingredient ice creams that mark a milestone in the upward trajectory of Paral·lelo. Saffron, rosemary, vanilla, spiced pumpkin (with cardamom, black pepper, ginger, cloves, anise, nutmeg, cinnamon powder, and lemon zest), and coffee are part of this new generation of spice ice creams.

Spices and their technique, as well as infusions, build bridges that connect this article to others. One such connection is with Chinese gelato maker Bang Gai and his Limonero ice cream, awarded at the latest Sherbeth edition, made from a masterfully infused milk with agar wood.

Other creations following this line include the Lime, Lemon, and Rosemary Popsicle by Hernán Rodríguez (Töto Ice Cream), and the Lemon, Ginger, and Verbena Sorbet by Soledad Terrile and Pablo Lagrutta (Salva Helados).

Spices are inseparably linked to distant cuisines, evoking great trade routes established throughout history, as well as the exoticism of their origins, and the flavors, aromas, and colors they bring to any dish.
