Classic Flavors

Honeycomb

Surprisingly made using no honey at all, honeycomb is a crunchy, chewy, caramel candy. We make ours in-house, break it into chunks and fold it into our sweet cream base. The honeycomb remains crispy on the inside, chewy on the outside and bleeds micro ribbons of caramel throughout the ice cream. An Australian classic and new American favorite. Ingredients: milk, cream, organic egg yolks, cane sugar, salt, organic brown rice syrup, baking soda

Salted Caramel

We caramelize pure cane sugar in small pots, add a touch of cold ground Tahitian vanilla and blend this into our custard base. After freezing, we fold in flakes of Maldon sea salt, from one of the world's oldest salt makers. The salt is beautifully textured, a result of the centuries-old crafting technique. Ingredients: milk, cream, organic egg yolks, cane sugar, original vanilla bean, maldon sea salt

Sicilian Pistachio

On the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, grow the finest pistachios on earth. Certified by the International Slow Food Institute, this variety of pistachio grows in the rugged landscape of Bronte and nowhere else. It is here that they acquire their unique, brilliant emerald green color, intense resinous fragrance and awesome taste. For this flavor we use nothing more than these nuts ground into a fine paste.
