The Ollie & Moon Show season 1 episode 23, titled "Italian Gelato Twist," follows the lovable feline friends Ollie and Moon as they embark on a new adventure in Italy. Upon arriving in the picturesque country, the duo is immediately enamored by the sights, sounds, and flavors of Italian culture.
Their first stop is a gelato stand, where they meet the friendly owner, Lorenzo. Lorenzo teaches Ollie and Moon about the art of making Italian gelato, using only the finest ingredients and traditional techniques. The duo is eager to try all the flavors, from creamy chocolate to tangy lemon.
But Ollie and Moon's love for gelato is put to the test when Lorenzo challenges them to create their own flavor.

Using their new skills and ingredients, they create two delicious and innovative flavors: a spicy chocolate gelato with chili flakes and cinnamon, and a fruity gelato with fresh peaches and basil.
Lorenzo is impressed with Ollie and Moon's creations and declares them honorary gelato-makers. The trio celebrates with a delicious gelato tasting, enjoying the sweet, fruity, and spicy flavors they have all created together.
In the end, Ollie and Moon leave Italy with a newfound appreciation for gelato, as well as the knowledge and confidence to create their own unique desserts. The episode is a fun and engaging exploration of Italian culture and cuisine, as seen through the eyes of two curious feline friends.
