Sweet sorbet

What is sorbet?

Sorbet is an ice cream dish in which a variety of fruit juices or syrups are poured over finely crushed ice. It originated with the Romans, who served their guests various ice cream dishes prepared with snow mixed with honey, rosewater and fruit. Sorbet was born and the Romans were just mad about it.

Is sorbet ice cream?

Although sorbet is an ice cream dish, it does not really resemble the traditional variety of ice cream. The big difference is that sorbet contains no milk or cream. Ideal for people looking for lactose-free desserts. In addition, sorbet contains less fat than regular ice cream and the preparation method is different.

"Sorbet is a popular flavour explosion in Italy and should definitely not be missing from our menu. We chose a traditional version with a quirky twist: sorbet of passion fruit, cassis and lemon. Delizioso!"

Sorbet – dessert or intermediate dish?

Sorbet can be served for dessert or as an intermediate dish. It is a nice way to end the meal as it has a refreshing effect on the palate. But sorbet is also a hit between courses because it neutralises your taste buds, making them ever ready for the array of flavours the next dish has to offer.
