From a news report for all you conoisseurs and others.
"PEOPLE celebrating Australia Day in Brisbane tomorrow will be able to cool down after their snags and beers with a Vegemite gelato.
Yes, that's right - a Vegemite ice cream.
Italian-trained Gherardo Deflorian and his partner Lei Hua, of Brisbane's Gelateria Cremona, concocted the flavour for lovers of the Australian icon.
"I thought we'd do something different for Australia Day and so I was thinking about maybe lamington, but Vegemite has to be more controversial," Mr Deflorian said.
"When I came to Australia there's so many more ingredients than there were in Italy so I like to keep my job a bit more fun, a bit more interesting so I try new things.
"Everything can be transformed into a gelato."
Mr Deflorian had to get his customers to help him taste-test his newest creation because he doesn't like Vegemite himself.
"They all say it's quite a weird taste but some people do like Vegemite and they say it's quite good," he said.
"It reminds them of when they were little and they had Vegemite on toast with butter."
The Vegemite gelato is not the first time Mr Deflorian has experimented with unusual ice cream flavours.
Last year he made a Guinness gelato for St Patrick's Day and a pear and blue-vein cheese gelato for a local food festival.
And he plans to make a rose-flavoured gelato for St Valentine's Day next month - bellissimo!"
