Hidden along cobbled backstreets in the beautiful historic city of Lecce, Southern Italy, my family had the luck to come across Baldo Gelato. Already feeling stuffed from lunch, I insited that I was too full to be tempted by gelato. Yet, after walking into Baldo Gelato, I ended up happily eating some wonderful gelato five minutes later!
The vast array of choices lured my family and I in- ranging from frozen natural yoghurt, to a multitude of fruit sorbets, to a rich chocolate orange. My brother being allergic to milk, was absolutely delighted the variety of sorbet options that lay before him. Usually there's only lemon!
Both my dad and brother had strawberry sorbet, my mum milk chocolate, my sister her standard choice of vanilla, and I had chocolate orange! The sorbets were particularly creamy, rather than icy or watery as they can sometimes be. The chocolate orange was rich with candied orange chunks to surprise you at every taste.Sadly, we were only visiting the city on a day trip so were unable to revisit this amazing gelateria, however I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Southern Puglia!
