It's always gelato time

I was going to write a big post about gelato - Come on, it deserves a big one right? That cool, creamy, sugary, goodness...Yep, it deserves a big post. But...

I was thinking about that post and decided that whilst it might be a legit homage to gelato I may be overthinking it and that any old post about gelato would be a homage to the tasty treat. I mean it speaks for itself right?

Here you can see my wife looking pretty pleased with her gelato. She was annoyed I stopped her mid-lick for this photo but played along with a smile nonetheless. In the background you can see the spot we obtained our treats from...It's in Tanunda deep in the heart of wine country in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. We'd been out that way for a drive and to visit a lavender farm a couple weeks ago.

It was a nice day, warm, although quite overcast and due to the novelty of warmth, we're coming out of winter here) I declared it gelato weather. But in truth, as my title suggests, it's always gelato time is it not?

There's a couple of options for ice cream in Tanunda but we prefer the gelato from Beans and Cream as they hand make them on-site and it's scrum-diddly-umptious! You're going to have to trust me on that.

The image above shows the lovely gelato lady creating my cone...You can see her dipping into the pistachio flavour and front-and-centre you can see my second choice...The whisky cinnamon. Yep, you read that right....And yep, it tastes exactly like whisky and cinnamon.

As the name suggests Beans and Cream also serve coffee plus some cakes and baguette's and sandwiches however it is the artisan gelato's that steal the show. They only use local produce to create them and the results are nothing less than spectacular. Their multi-award-winning flavours have to be tasted to be believed and they let you do that before you buy also!

This locally-owned family business is one of the best in the business and whilst it's a bit of a hike from Adelaide to get there the effort is rewarded ten-fold.

Most tourists to South Australia will find themselves in the Barossa Valley at some stage, or should, and if you are one of those lucky ones you have to get yourself to Beans and Cream in Tanunda, 72 Murray Street, for gelato at Beans and Cream.

So, as I write this I find myself developing a hankering for gelato, whisky cinnamon gelato, however I'm in my office and just about to hi the boardroom for a meeting. I know I'm supposed to be focused, professional and engaged, and I will be...On gelato.

Happy day y'all.
