As autumn arrives, Venice changes its rhythm: days are slower, the air is cooler and colours are warmer. One can also feel the seasons changing by looking at our store counters at Gelato Fantasy. Our autumnal gelato flavors illustrate the desire for sweetness and coziness, representative of this time of year, creating softer pairings, using seasonal ingredients and bringing back some long-awaited flavors.
Autumnal gelato: fuller and cozier flavors
Autumn is a time when gelato changes its shape but does not lose its appeal. While in summer fresh fruit flavors prevail, with the arrival of the colder months more enveloping and rich flavors tend to be the most sought after. Walnuts, figs, chocolate, caramel and ricotta take center stage, reinterpreted by our artisans in our gelato stores in San Marco, Rialto and Castello.
Every Gelato Fantasy location offers a different approach, but it’s always tied to the season and the daily work of our gelato artisans.
San Marco 925: walnut and caramelized figs
Within walking distance of St. Mark’s Square, in our San Marco 925 store, autumn has the flavor of walnut and caramelized figs gelato. A flavor design to complement the first cold days, balancing sweetness and intensity.
Its walnut base is creamy and soft, made with walnuts selected and roasted to enhance their natural aroma. To top the flavor up, we have added caramelized figs, soft and fragrant, giving a touch of warmth and sweetness to the gelato.
It’s a flavor that well represents the season: indulgent but not in excess, pairing perfectly with vanilla, fiordilatte or dark chocolate.
San Marco 929: the return of the chocolate brownie
A short distance away, at the San Marco 929 store, a Gelato Fantasy great classic makes its comeback: chocolate brownie. After the summer break, this flavor is, once again, making people talk- a rich chocolate cream, speckled with soft and intense brownie chunks. It’s one of those gelato that are hard to forget: thick, bold and perfect for people who love authentic cocoa flavors.
As our customers often say: here calories are plenty, but every mouthful is worth it. It’s the perfect flavor for those wanting to treat themselves to an autumnal sweet without much thought for the scale.
Castello: ricotta and caramelized figs
In the Castello district, few minutes away from Arsenale, our autumnal flavor is a bit softer and refined: ricotta with caramelized figs gelato. A combination that blends the light sweetness from the ricotta with the intense aroma from the figs, achieving a delicate balance between creaminess and fruity notes.
The result is a gelato reminiscent of traditional autumnal desserts, but a fresher and lighter version. It’s the perfect option for those who prefer less sugary flavors, but with a touch of originality.
Rialto: between peanut butter and caramel
In the heart of Venice, in our Rialto store, autumn presents itself in a more decisive manner. Here the flavor Snickers prevails, an actual energy and taste “bomb”. A peanut butter base is combined with a chocolate and caramel cream, creating a sweet-savory contrast, that wins over anyone who tries it.
This gelato has been designed for those who love indulgent combinations and American flavors, with an artisan twist. Unsurprisingly, this is one of the most requested flavors as soon as the cooler days arrive. It’s intense, energetic and satisfying.
Ingredients and craftsmanship
Each one of our Gelato Fantasy autumnal gelato flavors is made daily in our workshops, using fresh ingredients and without industrially made products. Our philosophy remains the same during every season: small batches, quality ingredients and a careful balance between creaminess and flavor.
We use roasted walnuts, in-house caramelized figs, natural peanut butter, and high-quality chocolate. Every detail helps to produce real gelato, designed to be enjoyed even during the colder months.
Autumn gelato flavors: a journey through Gelato Fantasy’s locations
One thing that makes Gelato Fantasy stand out is that every store portrays the season differently.
In doing so, someone visiting Venice can experience a small journey through our autumnal flavors:
- San Marco 925: walnuts and caramelized figs, sweet and well-balanced.
- San Marco 929: chocolate brownie, intense and decadent.
- Castello: ricotta and caramelized figs, soft and cohesive.
- Rialto: Snickers with peanut butter, chocolate and caramel, energetic and irresistible.
It all stems from one specific idea, connected not only to the season but also to the area: more classic in San Marco, more creative in Rialto, more delicate in Castello. It’s a chance to get to know Venice through gelato.
