What it means

Mini Dialogue

— Avete gusti vegani? — Sì! Tutti i sorbetti sono vegani. E abbiamo anche due gusti creme vegane — mandorla e cocco. — Provo la mandorla. — Ottima — usiamo mandorle siciliane tostate.

— Do you have vegan flavours? — Yes! All the sorbets are vegan. And we also have two vegan cream flavours — almond and coconut. — I'll try the almond. — Excellent — we use toasted Sicilian almonds.

Cultural Note

Sicilian almond ('mandorla') gelato is historically one of Italy's oldest gelato flavours — almonds have been cultivated in Sicily since ancient times. The almond milk base is not a modern vegan invention but a centuries-old Sicilian tradition that predates dairy gelato.
