What You Should Know

You'd spot this pint in the grocery freezer aisle or a specialty gelato case, pulled out for an at-home treat, dessert after dinner, or to share during a cozy night in. It reads indulgent and slightly luxurious — rich, chocolate-forward and meant for savoring. The ingredient list (processed cocoa, dextrose, soy lecithin, carob gum and multiple chocolate components) signals industrial processing to achieve a very smooth, stable texture and consistent flavor, which is characteristic of ultra-processed products.
