For culinary enthusiasts and those who are eager to explore a diverse world of unexpected flavors, the cultural ice cream range by Marco Sweets & Spices is sure to capture attention.
The iced desserts are made in Boonville, New York. The new craft ice cream company boasts flavors that are inspired by travel—from the Ginger Dreamsicle, the Spicy PB Caramel, and the Aztec Chocolate to the Vanilla Chai and the Thai Coco-Lime. The cultural ice cream pints are made available as a direct-to-consumer option in sets of four (for $50 USD) and sets of five (for $55 USD).
In addition, the company is also doing its part by supporting farmers worldwide. One percent of every sale is donated to the One Acre Fund which is a Kenya-based nonprofit that works with smallholder farms to reduce hunger and poverty in the region.
