Milan: Organic ice-cream
Given how easy it was to find organic pizza in Milan it required noteworthy effort to find an ice-cream parlour using organic ingredients. But although the Gelateria km zero isn't necessarily located along usual tourist tracks, I full-heartedly recommend to take the detour to have an ice-cream there, especially if you are near the Darsena.
When I was there the weather wasn't nice, and the place empty, but the gorgeous ice-cream made up for the rain and the cold. In addition to the ice-cream you can also buy ice-cream cakes and lollies, but also artisanal chocolates, cookies, cheese cake and pralines. If you feel extravagant have a brioche or a Belgian-style waffle filled with ice-cream.
Most ingredients are organic, and as the name "kilometer 0" suggests, there's a focus on Italian, if possible local produce. Needless to say that vegan flavours are available.
The globally operating French ice-cream franchise Amorino has four shops in Milan by now, usually offering one or two organic flavours nicely shaped in the form of a rose. Here I only list the branch I came across in person, in the entrance area of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle Secondo at the Duomo.
More to try
During my stay I learned about the following fully vegan artisanal ice-cream parlour likely to use organic ingredients near the Cadorna train station) but unfortunately I did not have time to visit. I'd appreciate to hear about your experience if you get there.
Closed
- Puro&Bio, Viale Umbria 27 (organic ice-cream franchise in Porta Romana)
- Dolce bio, Via della Moscova, 13 (artisanal organic ice-cream parlour in San Marco)
