Who knew that Yogurt and Ovomaltine (Ovaltine) paired well together?
I certainly didn't. All my childhood, I had to be coerced into drinking ovaltine, and I still resist the allure of yogurt. But, there was something reassuring about the confidence of the ice cream stand operator (Daniel Kissling?) that the two flavors would work well together, that I took my chances - and they did. Fabulously. He also added a complimentary (mini) scoop of cherry that did exactly the function one would expect of it.
That the two flavors worked well together wasn't a coincidence. While standing in line, I'd listened to him pick flavor combinations for people based on their preferences - and he'd impressed me considerably. He is not only knowledgeable about flavors, what works and what doesn't, but also passionate about running his ice cream stand. To be clear, Daniel operates the stand and sources his gelato from Paulo Palumbo's Amore Mio, that has been in business for 20+ years.
"Happiness is a cold ice cream scoop", said the Beatles (allegedly) - well, not really, but they could well have instead ;) . All of the elements of happiness work together at Gelati Am See: Great product, passionate and friendly owner. Superb location. What better place to enjoy ice cream than lakeside of Lake Zurich? Just sitting and enjoying the setting sun at the water's edge or after a nice swim in the summer. I say summer because this is a seasonal stand, operating from March through October.
Also, who knew that the gelato place that pops up first in a search of best gelato in Zurich wouldn't show up on yelp? (Likely because it's a summer stand)
