What You Should Know

You'd spot this pint in the grocery freezer aisle or pull it from your freezer on a hot afternoon, birthday, or casual dinner party. It tastes bright and indulgent — marketed as a light, refreshing sorbetto with an upscale, artisanal vibe, but its silky scoopability comes from added stabilizers and sugars. The ingredient list (multiple gums, dextrose, "natural flavor" and high added sugar) points to industrial formulation and ultra-processed manufacturing rather than a single-ingredient frozen fruit dessert.
