With its new Chocolate & Vanilla Bean Swirl Gelato Trader Joe's is giving consumers an easy way to enjoy the classic Italian gelato experience in the comfort of their own homes.
Perfect for the summer months ahead, Trader Joe's new Chocolate & Vanilla Bean Swirl Gelato is made for the grocery store brand by an Italian supplier that uses more milk than cream, which results in a product with a lower butterfat content than you’d find in most American-style ice cream. This makes for a gelato that's light and refreshing, but still offers the same smooth and creamy texture of ice cream. The new gelato also features cocoa, semisweet chocolate, and actual vanilla bean specks, which deliver the delicious taste of chocolate and vanilla.
