The gelato is prepared daily on site and there&#8217;s no an artificial flavouring in sight. In fact they use 20 kilos of real<strong> </strong>strawberries for the <em>Fragola </em>flavour, 20 litres of<strong> </strong>Sicilian coffee for the <em>Espresso </em>flavour and they source organic Sicilian lemons for our best-selling <em>Limone </em>gelato. You won&#8217;t find better outside Sicily. Oh, and make sure to call it gelato and not ice cream &#8211; they&#8217;re very particular about that! </p><p><a href="https://www.aromi.co.uk/our-gelato">Find out more here</a></p></div></div></div></div>
