Selection of Ice Cream
_
WHAT MAKES OUR ICE CREAM SO SPECIAL?
Our intention was to create a hybrid product that had the intensity of flavour and inventiveness of the best home and restaurant ice cream with the smoothness and chunks only available from specialist industrial equipment.
We make the product from the same ingredients you’d have in your kitchen. For example nearly all chocolate ice cream is made from powder – 2-5% cocoa powder by weight. Y3K is made from over 16% real chocolate so it eats like the melted candy bar you left in your pocket on a hot day – more like a mousse than an ice cream.
Y3K has a higher technical spec. It has more fat (all fresh cream) so it is richer smoother creamier and has less air and more solids (ice cream is solids and water – the solids are the stuff that gives it mouthfeel). A tub of ours can weigh 50-100% more than others so it is super-concentrated with more truer flavour in each spoonful because you’ve got 2/3 as much ice cream.
We have the capability to make a product with great big chunks so that you can eat it with a spoon or dig right in with your fingers and eat the chunks first.
In terms of flavour profile we run from traditional, to the weird and wonderful concoctions only an American can dream up to unique tropical creations ideally suited to the ethnic palate and more sophisticated chefs.
People are becoming increasingly more discerning about the foods they eat. In Europe and the Mid East nearly every ice cream on sale contains additives of some sort. Even “organic” and “all natural” ice creams contain organic and all natural additives. Y3K has created a product line that uses no added e-numbers whatsoever (except in the cookies candies etc.) yet has a superior texture to products that use texturisers. For example our chocolate ice cream is simply Skim Milk, Cream, Sugar, Chocolate (yes real chocolate not powder).
Europeans and to an increasing extent Americans refuse to eat foods that contain Genetically Modified Organisms. The Y3K range is NON-GMO.
Alcohol Free - Ice cream is the number 1 selling dessert in the Middle East. Most of the ice cream sold contains traces of alcohol because people soak the vanilla pods in alcohol to extract the flavour (you won’t get drunk eating a tub of ice cream and we’re not suggesting other companies are doing anything wrong). However for some people even traces of alcohol are a major issue. Y3k has figured out how to extract the flavour of Vanilla without using any alcohol and we think this is a huge selling point for our product and our customers.
Exclusively for foodservice – you can’t sell the same exact product in a restaurant that is sold in a supermarket at 4-8 times the price. All the other foreign superpremium brands are supermarket brands. We give chefs a superior alternative not sold in Carrefour.
