Martha and I took a little stroll over to a place called Biscotto a few days ago for gelato. Biscotto is a bar in the town of Aulla that serves coffee, wine and other booze, breakfast pastries, home-made gelato, and more.

And there in the front row of the freezer we found a tray of gelato labeled “Sapori di Sardegna — ricotta, miele, and mirto. That is, ice cream flavored with ricotta cheese, honey and either mirto liquor or the myrtle berries it’s made from.
