Mi amor, mi amor. 🍨

If you didn't already have a beloved to whisper sweet nothings to on Valentine's Day, you do now, in the form of Rosita de cacao gelato. The new flavor is the love child of Pinolo Gelato's Sandro Paolini and Romero Lauro, a founding chef of República who's currently with pop-up Clandestino.

Crossing cultural lines, this scrumptious Tuscan-style cold treat pays homage to the Rosita de cacao flowers of Oaxaca, Mexico, while also incorporating mole de novia, blended with white chocolate, pine nuts, and a dusting of citrus zest.
