After finely grinding the pulp to tone down its "fibrous" nature, we simply mix it with milk obtained from fresh cow's milk and white cane sugar, to leave as much as possible that feeling of intense and pleasant flavor that distinguishes the coconut.
We are not dealing with an actual fruit sorbet due to the addition of cow's milk, but since we already use an extremely large amount of coconut pulp - about 50% of the gelato you eat - we did not want to make it too cloying or hard to digest by adding cream or other ingredients usually present in "cream" flavors.
So enjoy this gelato made with milk and coconut pulp: it can be happily combined with chocolate extra noir if you have a sweet tooth or with a strawberry sorbet if you are looking for a fresher and more delicate taste.

COCONUT
It is the fruit of the coconut palm, an extremely useful tropical plant that provides the local inhabitants not only with its fruits - coconuts sprouts - for nourishment, but also its foliage and wood for many different purposes.
The coconut is a large-sized drupe (fruit whose seed is contained in a pit or stone), with a fibrous outer part and an internal part, the seed, that contains a large almond. There is liquid inside the nut, the riper the nut the more liquid it contains. But careful: this is not the same thing as coconut milk, which instead is obtained by grating the actual pulp and then squeezing it until you obtain a thick liquid with a more pronounced taste. On western markets, the coconut is usually sold without the outside rind, and so there is only the pit left, which is that sort of small melon covered with fibrous hair. The pulp inside this pit, which is what we usually eat, is rich in fats but not in other nutritious elements, except for carbohydrates.
FRESH WHOLE MILK
We have chosen a high quality whole milk from Piedmont, in order to have it delivered every day to our laboratory. The quality controls on breeders and milkers are very strict, allowing for a gentler pasteurizing of the milk needed to keep its best qualities…the same qualities that you find every time you eat our gelato..
