One of the pleasures of the summerone of the best occasions for a break, to leave the house and meet friends, the ice cream is a joy and at the same time, when it is artisanal, a gastronomic excellence. This is why it is the only food to which the European Parliament has dedicated a day: it is March 24, the Gelato Daya day of celebrations born from an idea of Longarone Fiere and Artglace, which at the beginning of spring invites us to rediscover the pleasure of cones and cups starting with a taste that is the protagonist.
The taste of Gelato Day 2022
This year he is particularly greedy: it is called «Sweet Symphony “, is a chocolate and hazelnut-based ice cream with fresh ricotta and dried figs in rum syrup, and we can enjoy it in all the European ice cream parlors participating in the initiative (the complete list is on www.gelato-day.it), starting from place where he was born. This is the Chirico Estate in Ascea (Salerno), of Silvia Chirico, “Cheese factory” where buffaloes have always been raised to produce amazing products: mozzarella but, in fact, also ice cream. A good and genuine ice cream, just like like Sweet Symphony, with which Silvia Chirico won the competition launched last year for the tenth anniversary of the Gelato Day by Artglace, in collaboration with Longarone Fiere Dolomiti and Italian Exhibition Group. «We had a clue: to propose an ice cream with chocolate and hazelnut. From here I started thinking about a taste that told of my land, Cilento, and my family»Says Silvia Chirico. «I added ricotta, which represents our milk processing business, and dried figs in rum in syrup, which have a double meaning. Figs are a symbol of Cilento and in particular the dry ones were the energy bar of our peasant grandparents who brought them to the countryside along with a loaf of bread. Plus the rum ones are one of my fondest memories because my mother always kept them this way to make them last all winter. It is to my mother that I dedicated this ice cream“.
The recipe for preparing Dolce Sinfonia at home
A simple but perfect idea, thanks to the balance of flavors given by fresh and genuine ingredients, among the most loved and familiar when it comes to ice cream. “According to my experience the future of ice cream is to look at traditions and therefore to what nature gives us. It goes not only with taste, but the healthiness of the product, and the duty of us artisans is to offer good quality ice cream, making the consumer aware of what he eats. Ultimately, a healthy, nutritionally valid ice cream “, concludes Silvia De Chirico who, to celebrate Gelato Day, she developed for VanityFair.it the recipe for his Dolce Sinfonia to make at home, without an ice cream maker.
