There are 17 different luxury flavours on offer including two dairy-free options which are suitable for vegans, vegetarians and lactose intolerants.

Alfonso Gelateria is a must-visit when heading to Stow-on-the-Wold. Located just off the Market Square, the team make delicious flavours inspired by Italy. If you can’t make it to their Stow Gelateria, they can be found in multiple towns around Oxfordshire, or you might see their ice cream van pop up to a Cotswold village in the summer months.

Italian style ice cream using locally sourced ingredients, what more could you want?! Dolcetti is a family run business serving 24 flavours of gelato, not to mention the sorbets and frozen yoghurt to choose from. Our favourite has to be the ice cream cake, a combination of our two favourite things.
