How to make the most of it

Fresher longer

Once a tub is opened, put a sheet of wax paper directly on the surface of the ice cream. Place it back in the freezer immediately after serving to prevent crystallization.

It starts with Canadian milk

The best ice cream comes from fresh and delicious milk. Collected at the dairy farm, it is brought to the creamery.

Adding sweet flavours

A tasty combination of cream, milk, sugar, and sometimes eggs is blended together, pasteurized, and homogenized. To this mixture, flavours are added – from simple vanilla to fruit, candy, or chocolate.

The perfect chill

A special freezing machine paddles the mixture, adding air while keeping ice crystals small. This ensures the ice cream freezes at just the perfect rate to create an expertly smooth and enjoyable texture.
