I was lucky enough to visit the best gelaterias in Florence with my local expert, from the traditional "been there for ages" city center shop, to the more recently opened, fast-growing popular Grom, to the "off the beaten track" gelateria so hard to find that it may be the city's best-kept secret. Of the gelato flavors we sample in Italy these past weeks these were the top:
Most decadent: cioccolato
Fruitiest combination: peach and raspberry (still want to try the classic peaches and cream combo ...)
Best berry: blackberry with lavendar
Most frequently sampled: pistacchio (at no less than three different locations, though it should be noted that someone had gelato every day)
Most creative creation: amaretto crema with almonds and caramel swirled in
Most intense flavor: crema topped with real balsamic vinegar
Most bizarre: gorgonzola and basilico
Richest/My all-time favorite: nocciola
*Also sampled granita, which is the real "Italian ice" and typically comes in lemon or coffee
