Gianni's Raspberry Sorbet

What is it?

Raspberry is the sorbet flavour that gains most from having no dairy in it. Cream rounds off acidity, so a raspberry ice cream tastes softer and less like the fruit, where a sorbet keeps the sharpness intact. The colour is part of it. Raspberry stains a sorbet deep pink without anything added, which is unusual among fruits and a fair part of why it has stayed a standard flavour since long before anyone was photographing food. Seeds are the variable. Sieved out, the texture is smooth and the fruit reads cleaner; left in, there's more of the berry but a gritty finish. Most commercial sorbets sieve. It sits at the sharper end of the three Gianni's sorbets.
