iB Food's Artisan Ice Cream Mix offers double bonus for creative chefs -
Authentic Italian Ice Cream and 80% profit margins

iB Food has launched a new range of Artisan Ice Cream bases and flavourings which allow the creative chef to develop an original, innovative dessert, whilst enjoying profit margins of not less than 80%.

All that is required to create the rich, soft ice cream for which Italy is renowned is the iB Food Stellamix base, plus milk, sugar, an iB Food flavouring paste (21 natural flavourings to choose from) and a small
batch freezer. Preparation time is just 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the type of machine used. 

The skill in producing premium quality ice cream lies in maintaining the correct balance of base ingredients throughout the pasteurisation and freezing processes. The iB Food Stellamix base overcomes this problem by retaining the correct combination of water, sugar, fats, non fat milk and other solids throughout, thereby guaranteeing perfect artisanal ice cream every time.

In addition to the more popular wild strawberry, lemon, and raspberry, the range of flavouring pastes has many unusual flavours including Moucoco (a blend of caramel fudge and coconut strands), almond nougat, Sorrento walnut and mango, plus traditional Italian liqueurs such as Di Saronno Amaretto and Mandarinetto Isolabella. 

This diverse choice provides the chef with complete flexibility to create a unique dessert. Also, when compared to industrial ice cream, due to the stability of the base artisan ice cream can be mixed with a greater variety of additional ingredients. For example, fresh fruit and nuts, liqueur, fruit sauces and syrups can all be added successfully and this provides further scope in new recipe development.

Isabella Gambuzzi, Research and Development Director for iB Food commented: 

"When dining out customers deserve far better than the industrial ice cream they can buy at their local supermarket - if you want to impress your guests you must serve something a little special. As well as
tasting far superior to industrial products, artisanal ice cream compares very favourably cost wise with estimated profit margins of 80%." 

"Our Stellamix allows the chef to create a unique range of ice creams for simple serving or for incorporating into a more sophisticated, all year round dessert. The choice of flavours is excellent and we suggest combining two or three for more adventurous results - try almond nougat with swirls of stracciatella, just wonderful!"
