Messina Creative Department Truffle Degustations
Messina is hosting a series of seven-course truffle degustations.
Overview
If you haven't yet had a chance to check out Gelato Messina's Creative Department — its pop-up restaurant serving up gelato-led degustations — then this July is the perfect time to do so. The gelato fiends are adding truffles to all their dishes for a series of special, seasonal dinners.
In conjunction with Parksbourne Produce and Oakfield Truffles, Messina's Creative Department is crafting a special seven-course gelato-meets-gourmet mushrooms degustation running for just ten days, held in a private room behind the Messina Windsor store.
So what kind of truffle-gelato goodness have the masterminds come up with this time around? Expect truffle oil with grapefruit and ginger granita; truffles with Kiwi kosho sorbet and oyster snow; truffle mousse with eucalyptus jelly and berry pepper sorbet; and cured duck egg yolk gelato with shiitake, celeriac and truffle foam.
You'll also be trying the black truffle gelato with potato and parmesan risotto, which comes with truffle oil-infused oolong tea — plus the caramelised oak gelato with truffle and passionfruit souffle.
Tickets are $160 per person and, based off how quick these things sell out around the country, you'll want to grab your tickets ASAP.
