Mara dei Boschi

The one Turin Tre Coni winner Gambero Rosso itself named for a specific, checkable practice — reviving the Palestinian limetta, a forgotten citrus fruit — rather than a general quality endorsement; also the founding point for two of Aria's makers.

What we know

  • Founded 2012 with a first shop in San Salvario near Piazza Madama Cristina, per Turinoise; now three Turin addresses (Via Berthollet 30H, Corso De Gasperi 57, Piazza Carlo Emanuele II 21/b), per guidatorino.com
  • Singled out by name in Gambero Rosso International's 2024 Tre Coni coverage for its work on 'forgotten or lesser-known fruits, such as the Palestinian Limetta,' one of only two shops named nationally for this practice
  • Describes itself as 'an experiential and research laboratory in the worlds of ice cream, chocolate and specialty coffee,' per its own site, rather than a gelateria alone
  • Experimental and vegan flavour lines named in press: coconut and yuzu, fig leaf, salted orange, liquorice and basil, per Maestri del Gusto
  • Art-world collaborations named specifically: 'Chocolate Pills,' inspired by Canadian artist Dana Wyse, per Maestri del Gusto
