    Just had the Southern Butter Pecan. It's good...just not my "thing". I like fudgie/caramelly/peanut buttery/gooey things. Plus pecan pie is like my favorite dessert, so I'd rather have that with vanilla or caramel ice cream than this. But it is very good.

    Incredible in my opinion.

    Yay! Can't wait.
    I'm probably going to get kicked out for saying this, but:

    The Haagen Dazs salted caramel is better than the Talenti salted caramel.

    I don't believe it.

    I don't believe it, either.

    It's good! It's really creamy and has a fairly strong caramel flavor.

    I'm not saying the Talenti isn't delicious, just that I prefer the HD. I'm probably in the minority there ;)

    I get it. I like ribbons of things too haha. I like the chocolate chunks or whatever in the talenti though.

    I like those chocolate covered caramels, too. One of my good friends told me she thought the HD was better than the Talenti, and I almost dropped her! I think I tried it once, maybe I'll buy it again to be sure. For SCIENCE!

    Wait, what? Chocolate covered caramels? I didn't get any of those! I guess I need to eat more.

    Also the HD gelato vs the Talenti is a 40 calorie difference (at least for this particular flavor).

    Did you only eat one serving? There are little chocolate covered caramels in there. nom.

    Yep, I only had one. I'm going to fit one in tomorrow. This might change everything.

    Yeah, you get it and let me know. I never buy HD. Doesn't call to me.

    wait, there is High Definition ice cream??????

    Are spiced pecans made with cinnamon? I'm thinking about getting this now....

    I've got that one in my freezer-- haven't had a full serving yet but idk if you'd like it. It tastes like ginger and maybe a bit of cinnamon. I thought it was lovely but you and your dislike of cinnamon. :noway:

    I'll see if they have the singles. I'm sure @dragonmaster69‌ will help me eat it if I "have" to get a pint.

    I think sometimes the mix-ins end up below the surface. They weren't even noticeable until I actually scooped it out with an ice cream scooper. My first "serving" was really just a spoonful, but it still didn't uncover the deliciousness that lay beneath.

    I just scooped through my entire pint of gelato - nothing resembling chocolate covered caramel. I'm so disappointed.

    I've had one pint that hardly had any. I was not happy-- the truffles totally make it. I'm a mix-in girl, if there aren't mix-ins I'm usually not sold. The only exception is the GF dark chocolate caramel.

    Yes, this is me, too! This is probably why I preferred the HD. Because just the base gelato - Talenti wins, no doubt. I bet with the nuggets of awesome, I'll change my mind.

    How is the Caramel Cookie Crunch? Has anyone had it?

    What?! Take a picture and send it to Talenti. They have a FB page. Maybe they'll send you a coupon for a new one.

    NDJ is the only person I've ever heard say that they really liked that one. It's good but imo there are better caramel cookie ice creams to be had for less calories. It didn't wow me.

    I feel like I need a do-over with this one, because mine was a little gritty almost all the way through, like maybe it melted and refroze, or was freezer burned. When I got toward the bottom, I liked it better.

    The first time I had it, I didn't get any either, and then the 2nd time, I was like WHOAH!

    I've had one pint that hardly had any. I was not happy-- the truffles totally make it. I'm a mix-in girl, if there aren't mix-ins I'm usually not sold. The only exception is the GF dark chocolate caramel.

    Yes, this is me, too! This is probably why I preferred the HD. Because just the base gelato - Talenti wins, no doubt. I bet with the nuggets of awesome, I'll change my mind.

    How is the Caramel Cookie Crunch? Has anyone had it?

    I am curious on the Caramel Cookie Crunch too - I have a pint in my freezer but haven't tried it yet. I am hoping it is good - I love their chocolates but was less excited by the Salted Caramel (good but didn't floor me).

    I just scooped through my entire pint of gelato - nothing resembling chocolate covered caramel. I'm so disappointed.

    Oh no! That's no good. I agree you should contact Talenti and see if they'll send you a refund or a voucher.

    I have the Talenti Southern Butter Pecan to try tonight. Good?

    Incredible in my opinion.

    Yay! Can't wait.
    I'm probably going to get kicked out for saying this, but:

    The Haagen Dazs salted caramel is better than the Talenti salted caramel.

    I don't believe it.

    I don't believe it, either.

    It's good! It's really creamy and has a fairly strong caramel flavor.

    I'm not saying the Talenti isn't delicious, just that I prefer the HD. I'm probably in the minority there ;)

    I get it. I like ribbons of things too haha. I like the chocolate chunks or whatever in the talenti though.

    I like those chocolate covered caramels, too. One of my good friends told me she thought the HD was better than the Talenti, and I almost dropped her! I think I tried it once, maybe I'll buy it again to be sure. For SCIENCE!

    Wait, what? Chocolate covered caramels? I didn't get any of those! I guess I need to eat more.

    Also the HD gelato vs the Talenti is a 40 calorie difference (at least for this particular flavor).

    That cookie crunch one left me completely underwhelmed.

    Oh now I am sad - it was between that and Steve's Mexican Chili Chocolate Ice Cream and I went with the Caramel Cookie. Well maybe if my expectations are low it will seem better. What I really want is some Jeni's Whiskey & Pecans but I couldn't find it at the store I go to. I have to switch back to my other store to find it I think. I just wish they had a gelato version of it - I really do prefer gelato to ice cream just because of the texture.

    Tried a bit of the Ricotta Fig last night. Very good - very creamy and rich. Both the ricotta and fig flavors were a little muted by vanilla and cinnamon in the ice cream, but it was very, very yummy as was.

    Side note: Not sure how to log it. The pint lists a serving size as 4 oz (88g). Of course, 88g is only a bit over 3 oz. Emailed the creamery but I am guessing that the serving size should actually be 1/2 cup (88g).

    Made it to McConnell's last night and had the churro con leche and tasted the olive oil and salted almond and also their mint chocolate. All so good. If anyone here is ever in Santa Barbara or Ventura, don't miss McConnell's! (PS, didn't see the chocolate covered strawberry but want to try it)

    Eta, oh, they have a turkish coffee too like Mission Hill. They actually had like 3 different coffee flavors <3

    NDJ is the only person I've ever heard say that they really liked that one. It's good but imo there are better caramel cookie ice creams to be had for less calories. It didn't wow me.

    I am like the lone voice in the wilderness….
