Water Buffalo Ice Cream

Double 8 Dairy Gelato is Made from a Different Kind of Milk

Double 8 Dairy Gelato ice cream is made from a source that many would be shocked to hear about: water buffalo. Apparently the animal's milk is a lot more creamy than a regular cow's, so a group of farmers decided to cultivate this product and sell on mass through ice cream.

Considering how much better ice cream tastes when it's made with creamy and delicious milk, it's a surprise that entrepreneurs haven't tapped into this sooner. Apart from the interesting fact about buffalo milk being used for this brand, the packaging design is also notable. The final look was conceived by Cult Partners, who went with a mainly text-focused look for the design, calling attention to the buffalo milk ingredients.
