SORBET – Frozen Yet Delicious.





What exactly is sorbet?
Some call it Italian Ice and some complicate it to be the same as sherbet. It is neither of those. Except for the fact that it is Italian, nothing stands common to it with Italian Ice. Tales of Sorbet date back to the Roman Emperor Nero. Claimed to be made in the first century AD, this froze dessert has been gradually maintaining a global pace in the market. It was also said that King Nero preferred honey and wine over it to make the icy content more delicious.


So, sorbet is the nothing but frozen sweetened water with flavorings added to it. Granita is also a similar dessert but includes textured patterns and is much crunchier when compared to sorbet.


The tales of Sorbet took a long time to reach all parts of the world but it finally did get to the place where such desserts are cherished beyond thoughts. Australia – a country where people don’t just cherish sweetness but also celebrate it. Sorbet is widely eaten in all parts of Australia. Constant improvement to this dessert has been maintained all through its occupancy. Unlike soft serves of Australia, this dish contains no cream.   


Australia also being one of the top consumers of ice cream in the world, the implication of sorbets in this dessert too came into being. Being named as soft sorbets, this delicious dish has been occupying hearts and tastes of many dessert lovers.



Addition of various other seasonings has given this dish a delicious tang. In this world where delicious food is something that all cherish, soft sorbet is definitely a leader.
