# Columbian Cacao Ice Creams Jude’s Chocolate and Sea Salt Ice Cream is for Mature Palates By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-02-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-and-sea-salt References: [foodbev](http://www.foodbev.com/news/ice-cream-maker-judes-launches-chocolate-and-sea-salt-ice-cream/) Many ice creams on the market have recipes and flavors that are targeted towards kids, but the Jude’s Chocolate and Sea Salt ice cream takes a different approach with a more refined flavor profile. Made using [rich Columbian cacao](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-chocolatiers-series-by-salt-straw) and a touch of Maldon sea salt, the ice cream features dairy that has been sourced from [grass-fed cows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-spoon-creamery) to ensure a great taste. The Jude’s Chocolate and Sea Salt ice cream is formulated to help enhance the chocolatey taste thanks to the [artisanal sea salt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-brown-butter-cookie-dazzler) within. The new creation comes as a welcome addition to the brands other offerings including such flavors as Flat White Coffee, Caramel Pecan, Ginger Spice and even Hot Toddy (made with Laphroaig Islay single-malt Scotch whiskey). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Refined Flavor Profiles:** Opportunity for creating ice cream flavors with a mature and sophisticated taste, appealing to adult consumers. - **Artisanal Ingredients:** Opportunity for using high-quality and unique ingredients, such as Columbian cacao and Maldon sea salt, to create distinctive ice cream flavors. - **Grass-fed Dairy:** Opportunity for promoting ice cream made with dairy sourced from grass-fed cows, appealing to consumers seeking ethically sourced and higher quality products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Ice Cream Industry:** Opportunity for ice cream brands to cater to adult consumers by introducing flavors with refined flavor profiles and using artisanal ingredients. - **Chocolate Industry:** Opportunity for chocolate producers to collaborate with ice cream brands and supply premium cacao for the creation of gourmet ice cream flavors. - **Dairy Industry:** Opportunity for dairy suppliers to target ice cream manufacturers by promoting grass-fed dairy as a premium and ethical ingredient. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Well-Portioned Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/judes-products.md) - [Artisan Chocolatier Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-straw-chocolatiers-series.md) - [Licorice-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-licorice-ice-cream.md) - [Chocolatier-Crafted Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolatiers-collection.md) - [Super-Premium Chocolate Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-chocolate-ice-cream.md) - [Chocolatier-Approved Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcconnells-fine-ice-creams-sees-candies.md) - [Decadent Vegan Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairyfree-decadence-series.md) - [Coffee-Enhanced Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/java-jolt-ice-cream.md) - [Fudgy Pretzel Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impretzively-fudged.md)
