Being a big fan of
citrus flavours, I was excited to try out this lemon sorbet by
Mario's, a company that is known for making sorbets and gelatos in
the “Italian tradition”. We had already seen some lemon in
President's Choice Pink Lemonade ice cream, but this is a chance to
try a dairy-free option that is much more juice-based.
The colour of this
product is essentially pure white, which suggests an absence of
artificial colours. The texture is somewhat similar to the Dorgel gelato we sampled a while back, in that it isn't smooth and creamy
but instead more like compacted snow or, more accurately, like a
popsicle. Nonetheless, I had little trouble scooping it out for the
taste test.
What you will
really notice about this flavour is that it is REALLY all about the
lemon. It is sweet enough to be enjoyable, but there is a definite
tartness and acidity that is ALMOST too much. The flavour is really
authentic (as it should be, given the ingredients) and if you like
lemon you will appreciate this, but if you don't handle sour things
well or you have a sensitive stomach, the acid may be a bit
overwhelming. I really enjoyed this flavour, as it was really clean,
fresh, and natural, and it had an overall sort of lightness that
would make it a great pairing for fruit desserts or to enjoy on its
own when you aren't looking for something rich.
Recommend to a
friend? If you're a lemon lover, this one will be right up your
alley.
Repurchase? Yes
