This Is Where You Can Find The Best Gelato In The World

Gelato World Tour

The three-year search for the best gelato in the world has been recently come to an end with the announcement of the winner. Judges toured the world for three years to find the best gelato in the world in what is called the “Gelato World Tour”.

It included competitions in several countries, 19 countries competing overall, 36 contestants ending up as the finalists.

After this three-year, gelato-infused, and gelato-enthused search, Alessandro Crispini of Spoleto, Italy has been marked the champion! He owns Gelateria Crispini. His winning gelato was a brilliant pistachio flavor. He says the pistachios were sourced from “…three different qualities of Sicilian pistachios, two from Bronte and one from Agrigento.” (Source )

Upon the announcement of the winner, I have decided to share some gelato wisdom.

What is it?

Now, what is gelato, you ask? It’s often translated as ice cream, but there is definitely a difference between the two. Imagine ice cream, but both sweeter and smoother. It’s lower in fat but higher in sugar than ice cream. It tends to have a more potent and excitingly pungent flavor.

(A more thorough exploration between these two frozen desserts can be found here )

Gelato Culture

In Italy, where gelato was founded, it’s common for kids to stop by a café after school and order up glittering scoops of this delicacy. Adults, too, enjoy this frozen gift we call ‘gelato’ oftentimes after dinner. But ultimately, any time is a good time to dive into a scoop (or two) of gelato.

Gelato School

There is a gelato University. Yes, you read that right. For people wanting to explore the art of gelato-making, this is the right school for you! It’s called Carpigiani Gelato University, also referred to as Bologna’s Ice Cream University.

Gelato is a wonderful thing, and it's so exciting there is an actual competition for it! I'm especially excited because the winner is from the Italian town I studied in this summer.

How will you celebrate the announcement of the world's best gelato? I cozied up with some yummy fro-yo. Nothing like Italian gelato, but still a delicious frozen treat nonetheless!

Happy gelato travels!

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
