Milk, eggs, and sugar: this is all you need to make true gelato. And yet, finding this simplicity in Italy is not as obvious as you may think. I visited Mokambo Gelateria, a gelato shop in Ruvo di Puglia, Italy. Ruvo is a small, pretty anonymous town to you guys watching abroad, but two local siblings, Vincenzo and Giuliana Paparella, have transformed it into the true gelato capital of Italy. At Mokambo, gelato is made from a 180-year-old family recipe.

By that point I totally forgot about this documentary but few days before my flight the video popped out as recommendation to watch. I planed an extra half day during my stay in Puglia to go there and took the 1,5 hours train ride to Ruvo. It was extremely delicious - an excellent blend of simplicity and intensity of just few real, natural, high quality ingredients. I would recommend it to everyone! Bravo to the Family which still runs the shop and give us the opportunity the taste such pleasure!

It's so refreshing to see an emphasis on sourcing, like the cacao from Ghana, which really makes you more mindful of where the ingredients come from. This approach brings a sense of connection that's often lost in large-scale industrial production, which unfortunately can contribute to the alienation of exploited countries on the periphery

Three basic ingredients, but for real gelato you need pristine meadows where cows and chickens can graze real grass and aromatic wild herbs. This milk and these eggs, together with sugar, form the basis for a popular summer dessert: the ice cream of dreams, like from childhood. Is our palate dulled or is it the fault of mass production that only looks at profit and cheap ingredients? How many "developed" countries can boast such pristine pastures? We hope that enough children will still get the chance to taste the real thing so that when they grow up, they can return this world to the beautiful natural world in memory of their childhood, for we have let ours fade into oblivion. Ritorno alle origini, proprio come si dice nel video. Grazie mille Claudia e Gelateria Mokambo, Giuliana e Vincenzo - possiate creare tanti ricordi per i bambini!

Thank you so much for the insight in true italian cuisine and culture. Very interesting to hear about Nutella and Ferrero. You can really tell the passion, love and time that goes into the produced product. Also, it's very fun to watch, nothing better than seeing someone enjoy making food that is not from this world while learning so so much too. But I have to say.. I am very jealous, these flavours.. I wish I can try this once in my life! The king's cream as base with italian coffee must be heavenly. I've seen your channel before, now I just have to subscribe! :D

Watching this felt like pure therapy for my nostalgic soul... I can't really put into words just how starved of authentic things I've grown to feel as time went by. It feels amazing to witness people being true to themselves and their heart through their craft, especially in these times where people in positions of leadership so often choose profit at the expense of integrity, authenticity, and a true spirit of community and culture. Fortunately, there are still people with heart in this world, and for that I am sincerely grateful. I would gladly hug everybody involved in this video :)

Im addicted to gelato and ice cream and I try as many flavors I can in every country I visit. After watching your video about this shop I researched the town and thought to my self: ''This place is very rural, no chance i can get there to try the gelato.'' Somehow my first trip after Covid endet up being to Bari and area in 2021.
