After the exceptional icecream in El Calafate and Puerto Iguazu, Buenos Aires seemed an usual dream where every corner around San Telmo had either a Freddo or another helado artesanales. I meant to try Freddo but didn't get around to it which is a shame. Apparently all are good but everyone has their preferences.
Volta and Jauja were closely located. I walked past Volta and their special deal of one scoop for ARS20 in favour of Jauja only to find their double scoop for ARS68. Oh well, it seems a standard price in Argentina.
Jauja is run by some people from Patagonia. I was hoping to try some of the berry flavours but they didn't have calafate. Luckily they did have corinto, a tiny red berry that I had tried at Cangrejo Rojo in Punta Arenas (there they called it parras), which is a sweet zingy berry with hints of raspberry tones but not sour. I also had their cardamom which was unusual and tasted strongly spiced as expected.
It definitely wasn't the best I've had, it was thinner and less creamy than the other places in Argentina. But the range of flavours is definitely more creative and experimental and that's one of the best things that separates this from the rest.
