International recognition for local Gelato maker
James Coleridge of Bella Gelateria wins two awards at the Gelato Festival in Florence, Italy
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - An international award goes to a local Gelato maker.
James Coleridge of Bella Gelateria in Vancouver has picked up both the people's choice and the technical award at the Gelato Festival in Florence.
Coleridge says his tasty creation has a very Canadian feel the Italian judges took to.
"The gold medal winning flavour that we took and made in Florence, Italy was a toasted pecan with sea salt. We also took caramelized pecans to put in there and then topped it off with Canadian maple syrup."
Coleridge adds the Italian masters were a little taken aback that a Canadian took the prize.
"Vancouver is a culinary hot bed in the globe and they've actually encouraged me to make these really multi-dimensional, layering flavours," he notes. "I think they were a little surprised but I think they should be proud too because they did teach me in Italy."
Coleridge's creation was voted on by more than 200,000 visitors at the festival.
