Stracciatella ice cream in Italy
Bella Italia is just a few pedal pushes away. Italy is the land of pasta, pizza, and picturesque landscapes. Our cycling holidays in Italy promise pure vacation feeling and offer the perfect combination of active vacations and relaxation phases.
During the rest periods, you can take in the sights of the cities at your leisure, enjoy the picturesque landscapes and lick a delicious ice cream. Particularly popular in Italy: The Stracciatella flavour.
This delicious type of ice cream was invented in 1961 by a pastry chef in Bergamo. The same name is also used for a Roman-Tuscan soup in which raw egg is stirred, creating egg flakes in the broth that resemble chocolate chips in the ice cream. The term stracciatella, by the way, comes from the Italian "stracciare," which means "to tear." Melted chocolate is added to the finished milk ice cream, and once the chocolate is frozen, stirring it in the ice cream maker breaks it into shards. To us, this combination reminds us of summer, sun and sea and enriches your cycling vacation.
