We visited Bono Gelato in SM Aura.  All the ice cream is made fresh right at the back of the counter

I am suspecting this is Movie night – which has potato chips, caramel and malt balls BONO Gelato has something for everyone with dairy-free (Cioccolato, Taho and sorbets) and low-sugar (Cappuccino and Stracciatella) flavors.

Low-fat: Ice cream contains 18% or more butterfat while gelato only contains 4 to 8%

Gelato uses more whole milk than cream

Gelato is slow-churned for less air and more flavor

Bono gelato is churned daily and hand-crafted in small batches.

BONO Gelato uses the slow-churning method of Cattabriga’s Effe mixers, the mark and standard of authentic Italian gelato.

Each batch is made no more than 12 to 20 hours prior to your enjoyment

Our gelato is stored in Pozzetto cabinets to ensure the least amount of air & light contamination while also preserving a constant temperature.

BONO Gelato uses only the finest, freshest, in-season ingredients sourced locally and globally to ensure the best quality.

Their latest flavor – Kooky Monster which the kids love.  It’s cotton candy flavor with marshmallows, chocolate chip and  cookies 🙂  I like looking at it because it reminds me of Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster 🙂

They always have 12 flavors at one given time.  All the ingredients are all freshWe had a hard time deciding what flavor we wanted!

So they served us a little of every flavor!  🙂
