Oh yes! The tastiest pistachio ice cream from Italy is now also available here in the supermarket

For years, we at the editorial office have been addicted to the Italian Liuk ice cream. But now there’s another Italian ice cream on the shelves that deserves a spot in your freezer. Gruvi Pistacchio Sincero is here, ready to conquer not only our hearts but also yours.

The pistachio ice cream from Gruvi. You might already know it, because in Italy it’s available at almost every local supermarket and is from Sammontana, with that smiling ice cream logo that has been brightening up every Italian beach tent forever. And now it has – hooray! – crossed the border to here.

GRUVI PISTACCHIO SINCERO
Let me describe my love for the Gruvi Pistacchio Sincero. It’s a Magnum-like vanilla ice cream on a stick, with a green swirl of pistachio cream throughout. The ice cream is wrapped in a thin layer of the same pistachio cream, with pieces of pistachio nuts and cookie crumbs mixed in. This gives it a crunch and a little bit of an Oreo idea, because cream and cookie. So.

Of course, we subjected it to an extensive and independent test in our editorial garden. It went like this:

RUNNING TO ALBERT HEIJN FOR THE BEST PISTACHIO ICE CREAM
Only downside: at many Albert Heijn locations, it’s often sold out. So you have to make an effort (tip: you have the best chance at the XXL locations). For a box of 4 pieces, you pay exactly 4.49 euros. That’s a bit pricey, but as far as we’re concerned, it’s totally worth it. A fan of pistachio ice cream? Lidl has a cheaper version in the assortment, which you can also easily stock up on.

Making pistachio ice cream yourself is actually not difficult at all. And don’t worry: you don’t even need an ice cream machine for it. Give it a try!
