HOT SUMMER NIGHTS SMOOTH ICE CREAM
It has the sweet classic vanilla bean flavor with the smoothness of family gatherings at the table on hot August summer nights with dripping ice cream cones by the lake carefree sitting on the docks...

Talenti is no longer quality and flavor
Madagascar vanilla bean used to be one of my favorites from Talenti. It's now obvious that the bean counters are winning out, hoping to eek out as much profit as possible before completely destroying a great brand. Hopefully turns around or goes out of business to allow for a quality player to enter the market. Shame on you. There are limits to margin.

Hi Melissa, thank you for sharing your concern. We understand how important ingredient choices are to you, and we're sorry this product didn’t meet your expectations. Dextrose is not used to sweeten our product, but rather to lower its freezing point, a critical function in frozen dessert making. It’s a very effective, all-natural ingredient for this purpose, and your feedback helps us continue improving.

You HAVE to try this flavor!
Absolutely amazing! This flavor is delightfully creamy, rich, with the perfect balance of sweetness and nostalgia. Every spoonful felt like a reward. I’m so glad I signed up for your newsletter and will definitely be reaching for this flavor and more again and again. Thank you for making something that tastes like joy.

Tastes like Plastic
Used to be so good, but the jar I just tried has a distinct plastic taste/aftertaste. Not good.

Talenti Madagascar Vanilla Bean Gelato is Comfort
My favorite flavor is the Talenti Madagascar Vanilla Bean Gelato. It is pure comfort food/dessert. I love it with my homemade berries compote. I love it with a hot out of the oven brownie. I love it simply on a teaspoon, right out of the freezer. It goes with everything and also by itself. Rich and creamy, the flavor is fresh picked vanilla bean. Simply delicious.

With out a doubt the best Vanilla product I have ever tasted. Bought it all the time for a while then I couldn't find this flavor anymore. Very disappointing.

Great vanilla flavor!
This vanilla gelato beats out any high-quality vanilla ice cream, as well as other vanilla gelato brands. The vanilla bean flavor is pronounced, and the texture is smooth. My family enjoys many other Talenti gelato flavors, but the vanilla is always in our freezer!

Tastes like gross skim milk
This made me feel instantly sick, likely because of the type of sweetener they used in this. Check the ingredients, there are a lot. Plus it tastes like skim milk. My husband and I both thought it was gross and threw it away. What a waste. I've tried the mango too and something is wrong with their sweetener. Won't buy this brand ever again.

This gelato is everything. It’s the perfect balance of flavor and texture. 10/10. I also love the size of the container because it’s not too much.

Madagascar vanilla bean gelato. Keep it always
Comfort food. Close your eyes and be at the beach spooning this gelato. Freshest flavor. Smooth. I even drizzled some bourbon barrel maple syrup on a few scoops. I’ve tried mango sorbet with it too. That’s superb too. Vanilla. …. It’s still my favorite flavor
