Two local businesses are teaming up to offer a new treat this summer: a gelato doughnut sandwich.

Holtman’s Donuts, which has stores in Over-the-Rhine, Loveland and Williamsburg, is working with Buona Terra in Mt. Lookout Square for a one-day only special.

“Our goal was to partner to come up with one of the most delicious treats of 2014,” said Eric Roeder, one of the Buona Terra owners.

”Both of our businesses have so much passion for our treats, as well as a keen attention to quality, so we knew it would be awesome to come together for a collaboration. We spent sometime in the kitchen trying various things and decided on a Gelato Doughnut Sandwich.”

From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, June 7, Buona Terra will be selling a limited amount of the gelato doughnut sandwich. Only 100 are available at the Mt. Lookout store, 1028 Delta Ave., and they will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Options include a chocolate maple iced doughnut with coffee gelato; a blueberry cake doughnut with cheesecake gelato; or a white-iced sprinkled doughnut with any of 24 gelato flavors.

The gelato doughnut sandwiches cost $5 to $5.50 each.
