Many debate the folklores around the creation of Italian Ice. Western historians believe the refreshing treat was discovered accidentally under the Roman Emperor Nero’s rule. Others believe the Chinese gave Marco Polo the treat. Marco Polo enjoyed it so much that he took the idea with him when returning to Europe, thus becoming “Italian Ice”. Although it is not clear exactly who to credit, one thing is clear, Italian Ice are delicious!
Unfortunately, Italian Ices are a seasonal business. At the end of the season you might be able to buy your favorite flavors in bulk at a discount and hoard them in your freezer all winter.
