Gelato Fresco

You could buy Hart Melvin’s tubs at your local Loblaws, on an Air Canada flight or at the scoop shop at Whole Foods Market (page 20). But to get a taste of his best flavours, it’s worth the drive to the factory door. There, Melvin puts together custom batches for chefs and sells the overstock to gelato pilgrims. Mascarpone makes a fine, slightly soured alternative to vanilla and a wonderful home for his marsala-spiked tartufos. Ruby blood orange makes a gorgeously tart palate cleanser. Ask for Melvin’s personal stash, made from an especially good batch of Sicilian lemon. Closed Saturday and Sunday.
