The Artisanal Gelato Makers Of Mozambique
In a village of about 10,000 people, a group of Mozambicans are serving up local flavors of the Italian treat. But how to make it with limited power supply and access to clean water?
Gelato served at Cremedoce De Fronteira is supposed to taste good. And do good.
The gelato shop, which has been scooping up a menu of flavors, including coconut, banana and papaya since its opening in late April, stands out in the town of Ressano Garcia, Mozambique.
It's only 60 miles from the capital Maputo, where there are several eateries with Italian-style ice cream. But this village of about 10,000 people, many of whom live in mud huts, isn't exactly known for its trendy restaurants.
