All it takes is one taste of
Orso Bianco’s gelato and you’ll be transported to a family-owned gelateria in the heart of a quaint village in Cinque Terre. Reality-check, you’re in Orso Bianco’s perfect Achrafieh branch and it’s la dolce vita.
Their impressive line-up of gelato tubs and handcrafted popsicles are all freshly made in house without any artificial flavors, additives, or preservatives. The result is a deliciously silky product that lands in your cup, cone, or stick that has undergone a beautiful artisanal process. And, it involves travel: the Orso Bianco team is always on the hunt for the best organic ingredients and the most dynamic flavors. With the chef’s frequent trips to Italy and France, Orso Bianco is armed with the finest there is when it comes to products and recipes.
Let’s get started with our all time favorites ever since their Mar Mitr branch opened in 2012. The Chocolate Amarena gelato is the result of churning a delicious mix of callebaut chocolate and sweet amarena cherries, all handpicked and outsourced from Bologna and Modena.
As for people who love a little kick in their ice cream, they’ll find themselves asking for a third scoop of Orso Bianco’s famously good chocolate whisky gelato made with black label. The perfect summery alternative to drinks!
Gelato connoisseurs, the black sesame gelato will surprise your adventurous taste buds with its rich and nutty flavor. A must try!
And, for that lover you’re trying to forget about. A tub of their pure noisettes, toasted to perfection, blended with a swirl of hazelnut sauce and shortbread cookies will erase any memory of THAT ex.
The healthy-driven will find themselves addicted to Orso Bianco’s broad selection of sorbetto and sorbetto sandwiches.
For the sorbet purists, you can never go wrong with this classic choice, a zesty limoncello di capri. Their flavorsome sorbets also come in handy sticks that are perfect to gift the host of your next BBQ cookout.
If you thought Orso Bianco was done making your Gelateria dreams come true, we’re happy to report that you’re wrong. The stars of the show are their crazy delicious 10-90 calorie ice-cream pots.
Event planners and hosts alike make it a point to upgrade their dessert section with an Orso Bianco gelato kiosk. Guests will quickly queue up (we warned you) to indulge in the creamiest of gelatos and in the lightest of sorbets. So, for your next summer bash be sure to book your own Orso Bianco kiosk.
Finally, if you can’t make the trip to Achrafieh, you can always find Orso Bianco’s pots of taste, love and quality in select supermarkets, groceries and restaurants around Beirut.
