This season she rolled out a new flavor that was like a symphony in my mouth: rhubarb & lime cardamom. I tried it as a float with the rhubarb Dry Soda. So there was this wonderful texture extravaganza with bubbly soda, velvety ice-cream, and fluffy homemade whipped cream. The wild berry ice-cream with the lavender Dry Soda is also life-changing as a float.
I know I’m the target demographic, but I just can’t help but be a huge brand fan. They try to use local whenever possible; they favor flavor instead of sugar; they’re very experimental with mixing in uncommon herbs; their ice-cream shops are beautiful and inviting; and their blog, saltycaramel, is wonderfully written with great pictures. It’s no wonder they’ve branched out to include so many stores. They got it right.
All of the descriptions are fantastic, but here’s one I particularly like:
“Rockmill Golden Ale & Apricots, Rhubarb & Lime Cardamom Yogurt, Strawberry Buttermilk--when I taste these intensely flavorful new ice creams, they remind me of growing up in the summer in the Midwest, of flying down gravel roads in a fearless, handsome boy’s car, the cassette deck blaring as cornfields whizzed by and all cares flew out the windows into the hot and heavy humid air.
All right now dig in. Summer is to be shared.”
Go ahead and read all the descriptions. It's worth the cravings you'll have afterwards. Here's what you should look for at stores (you can find some flavors at The Winds Cafe and Dorothy Lane Market):
I share your love of Jeni's! You might already know this, but they're selling this brand at Olive. YUM.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried ice cream before.
