The 12 Best Ice Cream (and Gelato) In The World

by | Aug 1, 2019 | Podcast

Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast The 12 Best Ice Cream (and Gelato) In The World

If you have ever listened to this podcast in the past then you are very aware of our love for Ice Cream/Gelato. Since it is summertime we thought this is the perfect time to dive into our favorite places around the world for this delicious dessert (& it should be eaten at all times during the day). Here are a few of the things that we looked for when judging/ranking these:

  • Quality of ice cream – taste & consistency
  • Variety of flavors
  • Split Scoop
  • Do they let you taste prior to selection
  • How nice was the staff
  • Price

Get a pen and paper ready (or just scroll down) to jot down all 12 of our best ice cream experiences from our travels and create your own ice cream itinerary for your next adventure.   Today’s episode has been sponsored by our friends at Tortuga Backpacks & Sauv’s!
