Gelat Artesà de Peratallada — Restaurant in Forallac

I think the bare minimum is let your clients try the ice cream so they can choose the ones they like. I was with 4 friends, one of them asked to try one and it was the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in a long time. A 10th of the little spoon with ice cream, so basically no flavor in the mouth. Despite this, my friend did buy one ice cream. Then, I went on to try one flavor (mind you, just 1 flavor) and same thing happened, so I couldn’t taste anything and I said I can’t have it because I didn’t get to taste it. Then the man (the owner) who was sitting behind the fridge stood up, with a red face, and started saying “you have no shame, this is so rude, how dare you ask to try and not buy”. First of all, I never go to places trying things and not buying. We were 5 girlfriends who were going to buy an icecream , just needed to try 1 flavor (one!!!) to decide if that was the right one. Anyway, the way he reacted was so so rude, I have never experienced a thing like this before. Such a shame as the rest of places we went the owners/shop assistants...

This ice cream parlor attracted our attention for two reasons: they have a sign pointing out that they also sell salted ice cream flavors and one of them referred to the olive oil produced in the B&B where we are staying ("Oli Can Barrull") so we had to try it. Sprinkled with thick grains of salt and extra olive oil, the ice cream was really very original and tasty.

Because the other salty flavors sounded really adventurous (Roquefort, anchovies, vinegar,...) we decided to go for a second scoop called Perat-tellade, named after the village. This one was sweet and tasted very much like rose.

So if you're around and feel like having an ice cream, I warmly recommend having a deliciously cool...

The Best Gelato

Ever since I discovered this place I make a point to come here every time I visit Spain. Each trip I have multiple visits and bowls because there are some many delicious flavours! What I like most about the gelato is the creamy smooth texture that has a beautiful mouth feel. Some of my favourite flavours are chocolate 70% , coffee, hazelnut, yoghurt and blackberry, after eight, salted caramel and banana because these have the strongest flavours of them all. I highly recommend a visit and even if people think €5 for three flavours is expensive, I always say you get what you pay for and this level of quality it’s fair value...
