Cher and New Zealand’s renowned gelato artisan, Gianpaolo Grazioli (Giapo), announce the release of “Cherlato“— a new mobile gelato truck scheduled to arrive on the streets of Los Angeles for its debut weekend, beginning July 28.
The Cherlato gelato truck will carry Giapo’s famous gelato made fresh daily with seasonal ingredients, beautifully presented in bold and playful flavors and optional toppings. Inspired names include: ‘Snap Out of It! Kefir & Cardamom’, ‘Breakfast at Cher’s Coffee & Donuts’, ‘Chocolate XO Cher’, ‘Stracciatella Giapo’s Way’, ‘LA, I Love you’ (V) – and ‘SoCal’s Coldest Avocado on Toast’, a delectable treat featuring avocado and breadcrumbs.
Cher had this to say:
It’s the gelato that gets you out of bed at midnight.
It’s no secret that I absolutely love ice cream and gelato. When I tasted Giapo’s gelato while on tour in Auckland, New Zealand, it was the best I’d ever had. When I returned to his store the next day he had each flavor prepared for me to taste. I loved them all. Giapo is truly the Michaelangelo of gelato.
It’s been a long five year process getting my favorite gelato home to L.A., but I can say it’s well worth it.
The Cherlato truck will change locations daily. Gelato lovers can track the Cherlato truck on its website: www.cherlato.com or follow Cherlato’s L.A. adventures on social media @cherlato_gelato or use the truck’s hashtag #Cherlato.
