Kat Food: Morano Gelato
<="" img="">
Spotted: Morano Gelato constructing a store of its own right next to the Nugget! Opening day is scheduled for sometime in late April or early May, according to the company's website. Owner Morgan Morano had previously sold her products in Rosey Jekes.
Morano, who spent six years in Italy before returning to the Upper Valley, began her business in 2010. Luckily for us, she brought the tradition of Italian gelato with her.
This Italian frozen dessert is denser and has a lower butterfat content (between 4 and 9 percent compared to 14 and 25 percent for other dairy desserts) than traditional, American ice cream (i.e. no need to feel guilty about eating that second or third serving). Typical gelato flavors include chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut and stracciatella (the Italian equivalent of chocolate chip).
Keep an eye out for opening day! Hopefully, warm weather will come with it. In the meantime, check out Morano Gelato’s website and pretend that you’re on the Amalfi Coast.
