High Road Craft ice cream and sorbet launched in 2010 with the aim of selling its varieties to restaurant chefs and it continues to churn out unexpected flavors like Olive Oil ice cream.
The Olive Oil-flavored ice cream is described as subtle, creamy and slightly sweet, and it's just one of the new and unusual offerings from High Road Craft that is exclusively available in Fairway Market locations in New York. Launching alongside the Olive Oil gelato are other delicious chilled dessert flavors like Fig & Saba, Fairway to Heaven Coffee and Frutti di Bosco and Stracciatella. The exotic flavors were recently launched at an ice cream social-type party at the Fairway Cafe in the Upper West Side and although the flavors aim to cater to those in the food industry, these flavors drew curious crowds of all types.
