In conjunction with the US Open, Graza x Talenti is hosting 'The Big Serve,' a pop-up event offering "complimentary tennis ball-sized scoops of Talenti gelato and sorbetto, each enhanced with Graza Drizzle Extra Virgin Olive Oil and will take place outside the US Open grounds."
Attendees can sample three flavors that revolve around the theme of the sports event, including "The Volley Vanilla, Match Pistach, and the Lemon Love, which includes Talenti Zesty Lemon Sorbetto with Graza Drizzle Extra Virgin Olive Oil." The former two ice cream flavors feature base gelato flavors of vanilla and pistachio respectfully and are topped with flakey sea salt and Graza Drizzle Extra Olive Oil.
Additionally, spoons will be provided free of charge, while supplies last, and the first 100 guests will receive an extra surprise with this collaboration.
