If you cut it with a knife and look at the cross section, you can see that it does indeed have a two-layer structure.

When you bite into it, the smooth texture of the gelato spreads in your mouth, and you can enjoy the rich taste and aroma of mandarin oranges. The texture is sticky, which is different from that of mandarin oranges, but the taste is a reproduction of mandarin oranges, which have a 'slightly bitter taste in addition to their sweetness.' The sticky texture also makes the taste linger on your tongue for a long time, which is good.
