Tartufo Ice Cream in Pizzo

 On our last trip of the weekly tourbus route we finished our afternoon in Pizzo, Calabria.



As most small towns there, it is settled on a steep hill. Busses can only drive to the top and park there. A 25% steep way down is the only chance to get to the central market place. Or you can walk along small streets for an hour to get down. We were lucky that it did not start to rain until we were in the Gelateria. 

Pizzo is the birthplace of Tartufo ice cream. A creamy center of chocolate, very rich is the key of this treat. Original then covered in vanilla ice cream. This ball is frozen and then rolled in cocoa powder. 



It is served slightly defrosted. The center will be creamy.



When it started to rain, some of us decided to take a joyride up the hill in one of the many Tuk Tuks. That was the best idea we had.
