Fior Di Latte is bringing something fresh to Nairobi’s tastebuds with their line of tantalizing gelatos, sorbets and cakes inspired by local flavours and centered entirely around seasonal produce. The sweet, smooth taste that is so characteristic of Fior di Latte is thanks to their ‘cow to cone’ commitment, embracing all the flavour with less fat and fewer calories than other store-bought sweets. The rich cream that creates such smooth gelato comes from their own cows at the farm in Karen, as do the fruits that star in many of their delightful dolces.
In their new spot nestled in Nairobi’s Lavington Mall, customers can sample 25 different flavours of gelato and sorbet - highlighting local and seasonal delights like plum, pear and the new passion fusion. The co-owner’s Kenyan heritage is reflected in the tree tomato flavour, inspired by her grandmother and made with fruits grown on the descendants of her grandmother’s very own tree. The bright and crisp sorbets are sweetened with berries from their own berry patch, though if sorbet is too sweet for you there are a few more sinful flavours - ‘cocktails in a glass’ include mojito, pina colada and old fashioned. Most decadent of all is the 100% gelato triple layer cake, utterly unconventional and sensationally delicious.
The next time you want something sweet, sinful or sensational that celebrates the best flavours and produce of Kenya head to Fior di Latte - amazingly delicious thanks to fresh, natural ingredients.
