Several strains of strawberries are used to achieve the gorgeous color, texture and flavor of this Sorbetto Alla Fragola (aka Strawberry Gelato) created by Italy’s GROM Gelato. They’re so particular about quality that they grow the strawberries themselves in their own backyard farm in Mura Mura, Sedini, Italy. This sorbet is also gluten-free and dairy-free.
