Ice Cream & Gelato Makers in Devon

Devon’s mild, often rainy climate creates lush green pastures that are ideal for dairy farming, helping produce rich, high-quality milk. Combined with the county’s long dairy heritage, traditional skills and passionate independent producers, it makes Devon dairy products particularly special.

Both equally delicous, ice cream and gelato are made in slightly different ways, creating distinctive textures and qualities. Ice cream generally contains more cream and is churned with more air, giving it a rich, creamy texture. Gelato usually contains more milk and less cream and is churned more slowly, creating a denser, silkier texture. All our makers use high-quality ingredients and use traditional, farmhouse methods to create their own deliciously distinctive product.

Goat’s milk is naturally nutritious and rich in protein, calcium and other essential nutrients. It has a distinctive, slightly sweet flavour and is often valued for its creamy texture. Some people find it easier to digest than cow’s milk, although this varies from person to person. It’s also a versatile ingredient, making wonderfully creamy cheeses, yoghurts and other dairy products.

Kefir is a fermented milk drink made using live kefir cultures. The fermentation gives it a creamy texture, refreshing tang and a gently fizzy quality.

Kefir can be a nutritious addition to your diet because it contains protein, calcium and live cultures. The live cultures are associated with supporting a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut. Kefir can also be a useful source of several vitamins and minerals.

Kefir can also be made with water - take a loook at PiQi water kefir.
