Spanish Flavors

12 Mar

We love gelato. Here ice cream stores most often identify it as “helado,” simply ice cream. But there is nothing that would qualify as simple at the shop we found in a walk street right around the corner from our apartment. Flavors are in Spanish displayed in covered containers. So ordering is a surprise for us. Here are some flavors we have tried…

Mantecado – Cuban Custard, Nata – Cream, Lemon con Jengibre – Lemon with Ginger, Turon – Nougat, (Alicante is known for Nougat candy.) Dulche de Leche – 3 Milk and Caramel, Leche de Renada – Meringe Milk, Chocolate sin Leche – Chocolate without Milk, Tarta de Queso – Cheesecake, Marcuya – Passion Fruit, Orquideas Vainilla – Vanilla Orchids, Alemendra, Limon y Vainilla – Almonds, Lemon and Vanilla and more to try before we go home.

I am a purist so the photo is Chocalate Belga y Nata – Belgian Chocolate and Nata – Cream.
