Product Review: Talenti Sorbetto Sonoma Strawberry

Ok, I admit, this one is a bit of a cheat on the gluten free/wheat free diet lifestyle, but since so many of us also have to be dairy free, I thought it was well worth mentioning this product.

I was having a craving for strawberries, and in the middle of winter, fresh ones just aren't in season. I saw this and the bright beautiful red color was calling my name. A quick ingredient list check reveals only strawberries, water, sugar, dextrose, lemons, and carob bean gum.

This is the perfect, refreshing sorbet - not too sweet, not too sour (or bitter), and it simply melts on the tongue. The different containers are all slightly different colors - a testament to the fact that this is made by hand in smaller batches. Tastes just like a summer smoothie with fresh strawberries. Many sorbets either have an acidic taste or a syrupy sweet taste, but with Sonoma Strawberry, there is none of that. With all natural ingredients, no fat, no cholesterol, and no sodium, it's a treat you can feel good about giving yourself. Especially at only 110 calories for 1/2 a cup!

Other flavors include Hill Country Peach Champagne (doesn't that sound heavenly?), Lisbon Lemon, Malaysian Mango, and Roman Raspberry. I definitely plan to try others - and if you have children who miss ice cream, this is a good substitute! Available online at talentigelato.com or in your local health food store. Gelato also available!
