Colorful, light, nutty, and subtly sweet, pistachio is the flavor of summer, inspiring Alec's Ice Cream and Graza to collaborate on Pistachio Crunch. This rich, creamy pistachio butter ice cream is made with extra virgin olive oil and uniquely enhanced with candied pistachios and decadent dark chocolate flakes.
Olive oil-infused desserts are on the rise for their rich, velvety texture and subtle savory depth, offering a sophisticated alternative to conventional treats that satisfies modern cravings for both indulgence and culinary creativity.
This unique ice cream treat from AIC x Graza is exclusively available at Whole Foods Market stores. However, those who are inspired to try olive oil on ice cream can make the most of Graza's Drizzle finishing oil, made to enhance everything from ice cream and popcorn to salad dressings.
