Let’s return to the Carpigiani Gelato University with Stefano Tarquinio, a new-generation gelato maker, for a fresh take on Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI.
For this recipe, we chose an Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI, which is more structured and complex thanks to its long aging process, with interesting notes reminiscent of passito w**e.
The idea was not to mix the vinegar directly into the gelato, but to use it as an accompanying sauce, creating a zabaglione made with Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI to swirl into the gelato. Paired with this sauce is a delicate, creamy ice cream made from Carnaroli rice cooked in milk, enriched with mascarpone, and flavored with honey and Passito di Pantelleria w**e—perfect for highlighting the warm notes of the Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI.
The result? The sinuous notes of Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI, honey, and Pantelleria Passito create a perfect synergy that complements the delicacy and creaminess of the rice ice cream, in an unexpected pairing that’s a delight to savor 🍨
