the real thing - until a few like-minded people put their heads together and opened Bacio Gelato in Al Barsha last month. The brainchild of interior designer/gelato fanatic Lina Bargash and Bologna-born gelato maestro Cesare Cellie, Bacio serves up the kind of ice cream that people will travel miles for. Actually, ice cream is kind of a misnomer; as gelato fanatics will tell you, there's a world of difference between the lurid bubblegum-flavours you get in the mall, the long-life supermarket brands and a true gelato, with its fresh ingredients and, most importantly, an unsurpassably creamy texture. Bacio Gelato is a case in point: Cesare prides himself on freshness, making many of the flavours on a daily basis, especially the fruit flavours. Every morning you'll find him at Lulu hypermarket, picking out the best of the day's fruit - strawberries, mangoes, lemons, melons. If the strawberries that day are no good, then sorry, no fragola for you. He'd rather have it that way than serve bad gelato. Since he's got about a dozen flavours to choose from, however, it's likely you'll find something special any day you stop in. Of course there's a classic vanilla, although Italians aren't really fans of the plain stuff, says Cesare. But it goes down a treat in my favourite Italian dessert, affogato, or "drowned": a creamy cupful of vanilla with a hot espresso poured over. Gelato owes its popularity to that smooth texture, which comes from being served at a warmer temperature than regular ice cream and its lower butterfat content - about 10 per cent compared to ice cream's over 20 per cent. All that means it melts faster - and you get all the flavour faster too. Ever notice how really cold things don't really
