And that's how Team Daily Addict celebrated the festive season – with a private tasting of 40 gelati flavours at Darlinghurst’s Gelati Messina.

Here’s our Top 3 gelati picks. Yoghurt Caramel being the clear favourite.

Em - yoghurt caramel, passionfruit, pandan coconut

Lisa - yoghurt caramel, cherry sorbet, poached Figs in marsala

Anthony - yoghurt caramel, passionfruit, gianduia bianca

Katie - white christmas, coconut lychee, gianduia bianca

Carrie - blood orange, poached figs in marsala, white christmas

Michael - yoghurt caramel, mandarin, passionfruit

Big thanks to Nick Palumbo, Danny, and chef Donato Toce for being our host. We learnt a few interesting facts about Sicilian-style gelati and how each batch is made daily from scratch. There’s an ever-changing selection of 40 x hand churned gelato and sorbet available at the store 7 days a week, from 12.00pm – 11.00pm. Look through the kitchen glass window and see that they’re always taste-testing, trying new combinations and experimenting with what will work.  Pop in when it’s hot!
