La Gelatiera, London:
La Gelatiera, London: Anyone can cook up crazy flavour combos, but it takes a true master to really make them work. Somehow, the guys at La Gelateria manage to not only wow with blends like ‘basil and chilli’, ‘cornish blue (cheese) and walnuts’, and their signature ‘honey, rosemary and orange zest’, but to do so using all-natural, low-fat ingredients. They even pasteurise their own dairy on-site. Now that’s cow-mitment. lagelatiera.co.uk
