My Roba Dolce Review

You may remember that I posted about a free sample of Roba Dolce products back in January.  Well, my family finally sampled the products and here is my review in order of preference:

  • Lemon Sorbetto... this is my personal favorite!  I love lemon, and this is the perfect blend of tart with just a touch of sweet.  I couldn't stop eating this.  The rest of the family just got a "token" taste.
  • Dark Chocolate Chunk Gelato... this was the overall favorite of everyone!  Creamy, dark, decadent, delightful... with chunky chocolate pieces!  My guys polished this off!  I was lucky to get a tiny sample bite of this luscious gelato!
  • Mango Sorbetto... First taste, I wasn't sure.  I was still in my happy, lemon place.  I have to say, I really liked this flavor.  The mango was rich, without being too sweet.  A perfect dessert treat, especially after a spicy meal.
  • Pistachio Gelato... This took me back to the 70's when everyone was making "Pistachio Pudding" for pot luck dinners.  It was sweet and creamy, with little bits of crunchy nuts in every bite.  Delicious!
  •  Coconut Gelato... If you like coconut creme pie, you will love this!  It's the sweetest coconut flavor, so creamy, with bits of shredded coconut blended in.  Even my sons, who have never cared much for coconut, loved this!  It was wonderful served alongside a warm, dark chocolate brownie!   
Thank you to Roba Dolce for the opportunity to sample, and review, their excellent products!  If you want to find a store selling Roba Dolce products, visit their web site.  In my area, Roba Dolce is sold at Costco and Walgreens.  Roba Dolce also has a FaceBook Page Here.

Another big "Thank You" goes out to Karen, of This Old House 2 , for letting me know about this wonderful opportunity.  She has a lovely blog... please take a few minutes out of your day to visit her!

Roba Dolce... and Reminders

You may remember my post, a while back, about Free Samples from Roba Dolce... Go HERE to read about how and where I signed up for this!

Anyway, just look at what I got!  I expected one or two small sample containers.  What I received was three individual size cups of  Lemon Sorbetto, Mango Sorbetto, and Coconut Gelato. In addition, there are five full size containers of Lemon and Mango Sorbetto, plus Coconut, Pistachio, and Chocolate Chunk Gelato!
I Can't Wait To Try Each One!

Can You Believe... All This For Free!
I will be updating this post, after I have sampled each of them, to let you know which are my favorites. 
Now, just a reminder on a couple other things coming up.
  • The Brenda Photo Challenge is this Saturday!  It's not too late to participate.  The photo category is "Frozen" and with the winter everyone's had, this should be a fun one!  My first two entries to this challenge in 2008 are HERE and HERE.  After that, I started putting my entries on my photo blog, Nita Jo's Photos.
  • Go to Sunday Scribblings to get writing prompts and inspiration, or to just read and enjoy what other writers have submitted.  There is a new category each week.  "Eternity" was the last one.  If you want to read my earlier submissions, they are at My Sunday Scribblings.
  • Memory Lane Mondays is a new writing venue.  It is hosted by Donna Liljegren of Brynwood Needleworks.  The last Monday of each month, you share a family story or memory.  Donna will have a Mr. Linky set up, so you can add your name if you want to participate.  You can read each of the other writer's memories, even if you aren't submitting a story of your own.
Well, that's all for now.  Hoping you have a wonderful weekend!
