Bloom Naturalmente Gelato - MODENA

My first gelato I had in Italy was at Bloom Gelato and as such it almost ruined any other gelato for me. This is award winning gelato, one of the best gelato shops in all of Italy. I'm so glad I researched gelato and food in Italy otherwise I probably would have not come across this shop. For some reason there aren't many gelato shops in Venice, in fact I don't recall even seeing one, but a lot of places are closed in January since it's the off season. But after Bloom, I tried to have gelato at least once a day while I was in Italy. Since I wanted to try so many different gelato shops while in Italy I wanted to keep it simple so I could make true comparisons. I'm a chocolate lover so that would be my base and pair it with another flavor, most likely a vanilla of some sort or a fruit that would pair well with the chocolate. I ended up coming to Bloom 4 times during my 2 trips to Modena. My first cup was cioccolato crema, a basic chocolate vanilla, but it was anything but basic. The crema was so good I couldn't believe it. And the chocolate was awesome, especially for being just chocolate and not dark chocolate or any other fancy chocolate. My mind was blown. I mean it was sooo creamy and flavorful. The next time I had cioccolato stracciatella (chocolate chip), next trip was cioccolato fior di latte. By then I had discovered cioccolata calda, kinda like hot chocolate but sooo much better. Bloom had cioccolata calda and I tried it and although it was good, it wasn't the best I had while in Italy. They had fior di bufala (buffalo milk) just once but that was the day I got the cioccolata calda. My final cup at Bloom was cioccolato fior di asina (donkey milk) which I think is better than just vanilla, but not as good as the crema. Bloom Gelato was so amazing only two other gelato shops in Italy I tried came close or equal to it.

One of the best gelato in Modena. The flavors are exceptional!! Only drawback, it's a bit more expensive than other gelaterie. Still, worth it!!

Excellent coffee and gelato. The lady serving us was very friendly and efficient, we would recommend this place to anyone visiting Modena.

Very good ice cream! really good tastes, nice selection of flavors

Among the best gelato I ever had. Thanks to bloom now I LOVE fruit flavors. Their figs is mind-blowing. Feels like you are eating figs just picked from a tree.
