What is an Affogato and how to make it

Affogato, the sweet symphony of gelato and coffee, is an Italian treat that transforms even the most discerning dessert lovers. It means “drowned” because the gelato gets drowned in coffee, and it’s amazing! 😋

Affogato, an easy-to-make dessert

To make the perfect Affogato follow 3 easy steps:

  • First, get a cup and put in two scoops of your favourite gelato flavours.
  • Then, pour a shot of warm coffee over the gelato. The cold gelato melts a bit, making it extra delicious.
  • Lastly, add your favourite toppings, like cookies or nuts.

The Best Gelato Combo

The Affogato typically pairs with a plain flavour like Vanilla, but Unico suggests something more audacious. Try pistachio and hazelnut with a shot of espresso, and it will change you forever.

Make Christmas 2023 Merry!

In Italy, as in the UK, Christmas is a time to gather friends and family together to feast, exchange gifts and celebrate the season. Every family wants to make Christmas 2023 merry with its own traditions, many of which centre around the dishes we serve and the treats we bake.

Italian Christmas Products

Truly, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas in Italy without Panettone, a buttery enriched sweet loaf studded with raisins, citrus and almonds. Its classic dome shape is instantly recognisable, and when Panettones start appearing on store and bakery shelves, we know that Christmas is coming soon. Originally from Milan, panettone is popular all over Italy and, in fact, the world.

Perhaps a little lesser known internationally but beloved by Italians is the Pandoro, a traditional Veronese sweet bread that is soft and light in texture, made with fine flour, sugar, butter, eggs and yeast. It’s baked in a tall fluted pan and is traditionally served sprinkled with vanilla sugar.

How to secure your Xmas Treat

Make your Christmas even more special the Italian way by ordering our freshly baked panettone or pandoro filled with our creamy hand-crafted gelato. As with all of our products, only the high-quality ingredients we can source are used to bake these two Christmas treats for you.
