Italian Strawberry - Ice Cream made from Strawberries marinated in Balsamic Vinegar |
Opening the pint, I see the pink flavor of the strawberry base with quite a few solids and strawberry seeds visible as well. The aroma of balsamic vinegar is noticeable right away as well. Digging in, I can taste both strong strawberry and vinegar right away. The flavor seem to exist on separate planes -- they don't seem to blend or distract from other. I think I notice the vinegar the most at the beginning and end of every spoonful. The ice cream itself is very dense and creamy -- not a lot of air pumped into this -- and the strawberry is delicious.
This is an excellent blend of strawberry and vinegar. I can see why this won a People's Flavor Award. You have to be on board with the use of vinegar in ice cream -- if you're not perhaps just try a scoop first instead of a full pint. Otherwise, this is really good.
