For today’s Did You Know we will look at Spumoni fun facts.
Spumoni Fun Facts. Spumone (from spuma or “foam”), plural spumoni, is a molded Italian ice cream made with layers of different colors and flavors, usually containing candied fruits and nuts.
- Typically spumoni is made with three flavors, with a fruit/nut layer between them. The ice cream layers are often mixed with whipped cream. Cherry, pistachio, and either chocolate or vanilla are the typical flavors of the ice cream layers, and the fruit/nut layer often contains cherry bits. This causes the traditional red/pink, green, and brown color combination.
- Spumoni differs from ice cream in that it should always be sliced, never scooped.
- Spumoni was first made in Naples. It is now popular in places with large Italian immigrant populations, such as the U.S. and Argentina.
Key Date
