Helado Artesanal · Buenos Aires
Argentine artisan ice cream descended from Italian gelato. Dense, low-air, made daily; the icons are dulce de leche granizado, sambayón (zabaglione), frutilla a la crema and tres chocolates.
Italian immigrants brought gelato in the late 19th century and Argentine helado is a direct descendant: similar texture and density, but the Argentine version evolved its own canon led by dulce de leche granizado (caramel ice cream with chocolate chips). Cadore on Corrientes (since 1957), Volta and Rapanui became the gold-standard chains; small palerma artesanal shops compete for the best-dulce-de-leche-in-BA crown each summer.
