Ice cream can be made from a variety of ingredients, from milk to strong rum. Read about where and how the best ice cream in the world is made in our top...

"Mado"

Türkiye, Istanbul

The ice cream in this shop differs from all others in two ways. Firstly, it is made only from goat milk. Secondly, an ingredient is used as a thickener that is not used anywhere except Turkey and Greece. This mastic is the resin of pistachio trees. It allows you to make a briquette so hard that you have to cut it with a miniature hatchet - this is part of the show for tourists who willingly order an unusual dessert and then eat it with a knife and fork. This ice cream is called “dondurma”. It was first prepared in the Turkish city of Kahramanmaraş, which is why dondurma is often called “Maraş ice cream”.“Mado” is considered the best shop in the Ottoman capital where you can taste this delicacy, although you can also buy it on the street - usually dondurma is sold directly from carts. Merchants stir it with long sticks and tease hungry tourists.

France Paris

Bertillon ice cream is considered one of the best in the world, but the owners of the cafe stubbornly do not want to expand and turn into a chain. The cafe is located on the Ile Saint-Louis, the smaller of the two remaining islands of the Seine in the center of Paris.It has been operating since 1954 - then it was the family shop of Monsieur Bertillon. Today, ice cream is sold in another 20 mini-points, here on the island. Tourists and Parisians love it for its special softness and delicate taste - according to legend, the Bertillon family owns the secret of whipping cream.In Paris, chestnut is one of the traditional dishes; it is fried, boiled, grilled, and at Bertillon they even make ice cream from it - they candied it, and the recipe is not revealed further.The same key ingredients are always used: milk, cream, sugar and eggs. Dairy products are supplied by agreement with Norman farmers, fruits are bought in local shops.

Morellis Gelato

Great Britain, London

This mini ice cream parlor is located on the ground floor of Harrods, the largest and most fashionable department store in English-speaking countries. Until 2001, this store was the official supplier of the “court of their majesties”: Elizabeth II, Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Charles, Prince of Wales and Queen Mother Elizabeth. Ice cream "Morellis Gelato" is one of the elements of the menu of the august persons. It dates back to 1907. The recipe was brought to Britain by Giuseppe Morreli, who emigrated from Naples. At the beginning of the 20th century, he and his son sold these desserts from his bicycle - they went out with a freezer in the morning and returned late in the evening. And when the British could no longer live without Morellis Gelato, they opened a chain of cafes. The special thing about ice cream is that it is prepared every day in front of your eyes. Moreover, they can make dessert with the most unusual flavors. According to the owners, they had the opportunity to make ice cream with the taste of onions and buckwheat porridge. Even traditional recipes are given an unusual twist. For example, you can add truffle to white chocolate ice cream. The most extreme thing was Morellis Gelato, haggis-flavored ice cream. According to the recipe... oh horror! This dish is made from lamb offal!

"Hanna"

Lebanon, Beirut

In Arab countries, ice cream is made without cream and eggs. Only milk is used. To give it thickness, they add a special powder from mashed orchid tubers - this is how it was made in Beirut 500 years ago. Hanna Ice Cream Parlor never became a big-name restaurant, despite the fact that tourists know that they serve the best ice cream in the Middle East. Ice cream that does not contain a single synthetic component. There are two owners - a married couple who have been making ice cream every day for 50 years. You can most often find them cutting fruit and grinding pistachios - ingredients that will go into dessert. Only fresh fruits - a shop across the road. The cafe itself is not easy to find - it is hidden behind the same facades of houses and is so similar to hundreds of small shops selling souvenirs and sweets.

Germany Berlin

A wonderful country for those with a sweet tooth who are lactose or gluten intolerant. Here you can get excellent ice cream without milk fat and protein. The basis is soy milk and fruit puree. There is also standard ice cream - based on cream and milk. In both the regular and vegan versions there are no artificial additives - all products are natural, without “E”. All fruits used in desserts are grown in accordance with eco-standards; everything has biocertificates. The main thing is that after this “healthy sweet paradise” you don’t go to the nearest fast food - all the efforts of “Caramello” to take care of your health will go to waste.

"Cup Ice Museum"

Japan Tokyo

It is unlikely that the Japanese themselves can be surprised by anything. In Tokyo, you can easily buy baobab-flavored cola and wasabi-flavored chocolate – a Japanese wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow when looking at these products. Buying ramen-flavored ice cream - noodles in pork broth - is a completely ordinary thing. But the Cup Ice Museum store would amaze a tourist with its assortment. Buying ice cream with sea salt, octopus or shrimp will probably drown out all other experiences. Here you can even get a dessert drink - there is even a whole shelf dedicated to this: ice cream with sake, beer, vodka...

"Udders"

Singapore

Despite the abundant selection of alcoholic ice cream in Tokyo, the capital of such dessert is still Singapore. There is a cafe here with a comic name - “Uddy”. The owner felt that it should evoke associations with rural landscapes and natural products. But drunken comedy came out.On the menu pages there is ice cream for those who want to get drunk beautifully and tasty: “Rum & Raisin” with a double portion of rum, “Bailies & Bourbon”, “Black Amaretto”. The cafe's motto is “Three scoops of our ice cream are like one mug of beer!”There are 12 varieties of ice cream on the menu. In addition to the above, ice cream with cognac and brandy is popular. If you're in Singapore, take a chance and try "Java Whiskey Choc" - it combines whiskey with dark chocolate.

Great Britain. London. Café counter "Morelli Gelato"

Anyone who has ever visited London cannot fail to know the stunning Morellis Gelato counter cafe, which is located in the basement of the Harrods Hotel.

Türkiye. Istanbul. Shop "Mado"

Anyone who has visited the heart of Turkey – the city of Istanbul – at least once knows that the most delicious, very hard, unusual-looking ice cream is sold in the Mado shop, and it is called “Dondurma”.

This type of ice cream was invented in the Turkish outback, in a city with the amazing name Kahramanmaraş. Thanks to this fact, Dondurma ice cream has a second name - “Marash ice cream”

The ice cream offered by this shop has two distinctive features unique to it:

1. It is made only from homemade fatty milk, and only goat milk. This parameter is so important that “Dondurma” is also fed to very young children, even one-year-olds who are still breastfed.
2. An unusual ingredient is used here as a thickener, which is used to make ice cream only in two resort countries: Greece and Turkey. This is a mastic extracted from the resin of pistachio trees.

Thanks to the use of this mastic in ice cream, the briquettes in which it is sold are so hard that it has to be chopped with a special, but heavy, miniature, real ax, selling to everyone exactly the amount of product that he wants to eat.

This dessert, unusual in taste, consistency and appearance, is often offered to try by numerous tourists, who then eat it as if it were fried meat, using a knife and fork.

In addition to the Mado shop, this delicacy can also be bought on the street, straight from the cart.

Ice cream merchants constantly mix it with the help of long smooth sticks, advertising and offering delicious ice cream of a unique look and taste to everyone, including numerous tourists heading to the sea, on an excursion, or just walking around Istanbul.

The cost of Dondurma ice cream is very low - a few cents per 100 g of delicious dessert.

France. Paris. "Berthillon"

Ice cream brand "Berthillon" is named after the owner of the cafe and the inventor of this delicacy - one of the most delicious and famous in the world. But you can taste it only in Paris, not even in all of France.

This unique type of ice cream, based on a family secret recipe, is offered by a cafe located on the smallest, central of the surviving islands in the Seine River - “Saint-Louis”.

The owners of the Berthillon cafe refuse to turn their business into a chain without expanding and without entering into competition with other ice cream brands.

The cafe has been operating since the mid-20th century, since 1954. Today, 20 more camping mini-cafes are known, located on the same island in the vicinity of Paris.

All locals and tourists fell in love with this ice cream for its extraordinary softness and delicate creaminess in taste. This cafe serves thick cream whipped in a special way and sprinkled with chocolate chips. And ice cream is made precisely on the basis of this thick cream, whipped in a special way.

Berthillon ice cream is prepared using the most favorite product of Parisians - candied chestnut.

It is quite expensive. Therefore, ordinary Parisians allow themselves to enjoy their favorite dessert, prepared in the mysterious kitchen of the Berthillon cafe, quite rarely. No more than once a year - on a birthday (anniversary) or on New Year.

Lebanon. Beirut. Ice cream parlor "Hanna"

Arab and Asian countries are recognized leaders in the preparation of ice cream with a wide variety of flavors and the whimsicality of the proposed form.

In a country like Lebanon, ice cream is always prepared without the use of ingredients such as cream and eggs.

The best ice cream in the Middle East is the ice cream bought at Hanna Ice Cream Parlor. That's the name of the owner of this establishment. She and her husband own this cafe together. It's just the two of them making ice cream, serving customers and clearing tables every day for 50 years. They have no vacation or break. This is the reason why Hanna Ice Cream Parlor failed to become an influential restaurant with a global brand. But undoubtedly, this ice cream parlor is one of the historical attractions of Beirut and Lebanon in general.

There is not a single unnatural (synthetic) food component in this ice cream.

Ice cream is prepared only with the highest quality fat milk. To make the ice cream the desired thick consistency, specially ground powder made from ground orchid tubers is added to it.

And this is also a family recipe, passed down through the female line by the owners of the ice cream parlor. It was here, in this same place, that exactly the same ice cream was prepared 500 years ago, using the technology invented by the founders - the authors of this delicious dessert.

Having tried this delicacy, you can feel the flavor range of pistachios and fresh fruits.

Germany. Berlin. Ice cream variety "Caramello"

Extraordinarily delicious ice cream. It is prepared for all people without exception. Even for those for whom nature does not leave a chance to try this delicious dessert.

For example, some people cannot tolerate lactose or gluten. This means they will be offered a variety of ice cream that does not contain protein and milk fat. The ice cream will be based on delicious freshly prepared fruit and berry puree and soy milk.

The line of this ice cream is very strict. Any variety of Caramello ice cream, be it regular (based on heavy cream, butter or milk) or vegetarian (based on banana), will be made only from the freshest natural products, without dyes or artificial additives.

This ice cream is quite inexpensive - around 5 euros per serving. You can buy it at any large supermarket or at the Caramello ice cream parlor, which can be found in almost every city in Germany.

Japan. Tokyo. Shop "Cup Ice Museum"

Japan is a country that always surprises everyone, but not the Japanese themselves. They are accustomed to living in such a way as to be several decades ahead of the whole world, and at the same time remembering their ancestors and honoring ancient traditions always and in everything.

The Tokyo Cup Ice Museum store has such a huge assortment that even an experienced tourist will be surprised and puzzled.

The cooling dessert presented in this store has a million amazing, unusual, rare flavors that you can try only here. Even the taste of a regular ice cream is different from the usual one.

Here you can buy for very little money, for example, a portion of ice cream with seafood flavors, dessert ice cream drinks with added alcohol (sake, strong rice vodka, with beer, brandy, etc.)

Singapore. Cafe "Udders"

Modern alcoholic ice cream (“udders-ice-cream”) was invented in Singapore. Visitors to the Udders cafe joke that if you want to get deliciously drunk, then it’s enough to order 3-4 delicious, refreshing desserts.

One serving of ice cream dessert contains three scoops (150 g), which corresponds to a glass of strong beer if the delicacy is ordered with its filling.

In total, the cafe menu offers 13 types of ice cream. It's not cheap, but quite acceptable.

When visiting the Udders cafe, the first thing you should try is the Java Whiskey Choc ice cream. This ice cream is the most delicious in the world!

You can't imagine summer without the best treat - ice cream! It is sweet, tasty, and surprisingly pleasant. Ice cream is refreshing and even satiating, and also raises the level of endorphins in the blood, so the product can be considered truly universal. Popular ice cream brands offer flavor lines to suit every consumer’s whim. Let's try to take a tour of the global assortment of this delicacy, which has won the hearts of millions of admirers.

The main taste of summer

When it's hot outside, it sells out faster than the proverbial hot cakes. And there are clearly no comrades here in terms of taste and color. Some people love ice cream, while others are crazy about different types of fruit ice. There are even all kinds of ice cream cakes and sandwiches based on it.

In summer, ice cream is a way out of any situation, a reason to take a walk and an opportunity to cool yourself down. Just which one to choose? Ice cream brands, even within the same country, are amazing. An ordinary consumer can buy different types of product all year and never repeat it, but the true “gold bars” have to be sifted from the total mass. Let's first try to visit the recognized record-breaking points for sales and production of dairy delicacies.

Gastronomic tour of the world

If you look into Venezuela, you may not immediately notice the small yellow house with green windows. It is too modest, but inside there is an ice cream parlor with the largest assortment. There are about 800 flavors here. The establishment is called Heladeria Coromoto, and its owner Manuel Oliveiro is listed for his idea of ​​adding avocado, champagne, pumpkin, squid and even Viagra to dessert! The latter option is the establishment’s signature product, and the effect is enhanced by the presence of honey and bee pollen in the composition.

Tourists also love the Parisian store Berthillon, which is put on the same scale as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral. There are 70 varieties of sorbets, as well as brands of ice cream with passion fruit, kiwi, melon, rhubarb and chestnuts!

The Singaporean cafe Udders attracts with its originality. Translated into Russian, the name means “udder”. The idea was very cute - to combine "milk-cow-meadow", but all the marketing went to waste when the owner added ice cream with alcohol to the menu. The names will please the gourmet - “Rum-Raisin”, “Bailies-Bourbon”, “Black Amaretto” and others. Over time, the owner made drunken desserts his specialty.

Fans of the film "Roman Holiday" should definitely visit the Italian gelateria in Rome, where you can still buy the waffle cone that Audrey Hepburn enjoyed and wash it down with something sweet.

With an exotic twist

Specific nationalities have corresponding ice cream. For example, in Tokyo there is a Cup Ice Museum store, where customers are offered the most unusual mixes of vanilla and octopus, pumpkin and squid, banana and wasabi. There are about 400 mixes in total, and this is not the limit of Japanese imagination!

In Istanbul, you can and should try traditional oriental ice cream (“dondurma”), which is made with mountain orchid powder. The Turkish cafe Ali Usta specializes in this product. There are 32 types on the menu, but the topping does not play a special role here, since the ice cream contains a local extract of Viagra, which, according to men, works magically!

The world tour can end in New York, where the Bierkraft ice cream parlor, famous for its burgers, operates. Instead of a cutlet and cheese, there is a piece of vanilla sweetness inside. By the way, this burger is served as a snack with beer!

According to standard

In summary, a real sweet tooth will not find rest if he sets out to try the best brands of ice cream in the world. There is no limit to perfection, and confectioners continue to stretch their imagination. Therefore, in the second part of the conversation we will try to narrow the circle and identify the best ice cream brands in Russia. It should be noted here that it would be a mistake to judge the leaders solely by price. Good ice cream can be affordable in prices, but its composition always remains short and concise.

State quality standards in the country allow the presence of some additives in the product, since otherwise the shelf life will be short to the point of impossibility of sale. The effect of chemicals a priori cannot be beneficial for the body, so store-bought ice cream will not be completely beneficial. Although most of the ingredients may be of natural origin, they will be more expensive, and therefore manufacturers do not often resort to them.

Basic composition

What do we expect from the contents of the treat? For example, let's look at the classic ice cream - ice cream of the "Russian Cold" brand. The composition is good - whole cream with sugar, sugar, vanillin, cocoa (for a chocolate analogue). It also contains water. If ice cream were completely natural, then that would be all there is to it. Then the product would only be stored for a couple of days.

But in the purchased version, the composition is supplemented with stabilizers-emulsifiers necessary to maintain uniformity and softness. At best, gelatin and agar-agar. Alas, you won’t find these on labels! But on the “Russian Cold” products there are no words about ingredients “identical to natural” and “substitutes”. This is good, because if such lines are present in the composition, we can talk about synthetic substances that are alien to the human body.

From a natural point of view

So, let's highlight the best brands of ice cream that are presented in stores. The top positions in the ratings are occupied by ice cream from Kuban, produced under the brand name “Cow from Korenovka”. It is produced in accordance with GOST, has a delicate creamy taste and contains only one stabilizer-emulsifier. By the way, the list of ingredients opens with cream, not milk, which is very rare for Russia. The product does not contain vegetable fats, modified starch, substitutes or dyes. Even the vanilla here is real. This is almost perfect ice cream from my childhood.

"Silver" belongs to the "Clean Line" brand. Her products are also manufactured according to GOST and in accordance with Russian standards. Manufacturers use natural milk and do not add vegetable fats. There are no germs, bacteria, yeast or preservatives in the ice cream. But there are also disadvantages - high levels of fat and sugar. In addition, the label states that the protein content is too high, but this does not affect the taste.

The top three also includes natural ice cream from the Chelny Kholod brand. This refrigeration plant has been famous for its products for several decades and regularly adds to its product line. The composition of ice cream has changed over time, but production is still carried out according to state quality standards.

Golden mean

In Russia there are brands that have the best price-quality ratio. This is the "Gold Standard" ice cream without vegetable fats, microbes, yeast and preservatives. The sugar and fat content is as stated. The only “but”, which is why the product does not belong to the obvious leaders, is the presence of only powdered milk in the composition.

Since we are listing well-known ice cream brands in Russia, the list will not be complete without the “USSR” ice cream. It also meets all mandatory requirements and takes into account quality standards. But the yeast level here is very high, although this amount is not dangerous for the human body.

Outsiders of the sphere

It is worth noting those ice creams that do not have the highest indicators, but are overpriced. In particular, let us highlight the “Vkuslandia” ice cream, which, upon examination, disintegrated into fat and ice. It contains a lot of sugar, which is dangerous for children and people with diabetes.

But Family Iceberry ice cream loses in quality due to the high content of vegetable fats. By standards, this is not ice cream at all, but a real counterfeit.

The popular Nestle 48 kopeck ice cream contains an excessive dose of sugar, which is a violation of technological standards. Otherwise, the composition is impeccable, and the taste is highly appreciated by consumers.

The biggest disappointment was the Movenpick sundae, which had twice as much sugar as advertised. This is a direct violation of consumer rights.
