What wonderful thrilling news. Hope to see a photo (or a name?) of the little Cutie in these parts soon. The breast feeding bonanza sounds awful, I bound down in awe at your dedication. Xxx Congrats!

Sounds like I'll have to try out Pozzetto and Berthillion too though. Ooh, the hardship ;) I (luckily) have not noticed an oily taste in any of the gelato or sorbetti I’ve had!

I find their ice cream pretty dull with a relatively oily after taste, probably a Sicilian heritage. As far as sweetness goes, it is better then amorino. My favourite overall remains by far the pioneer of real Italian gelato in Paris Pozzetto and, for the taste (but not the texture) some (not all) of Berthillon's sherbets.
