ROSELANI ICE CREAM
Est. 1932
The Nobriga family has been making Roselani artisan ice cream the exact same way for nearly 90 years: completely from scratch, one batch at a time, using time-tested recipes developed by patriarch Manuel Nobriga.
“Most companies produce ice cream in 15 minutes,” says fourth-generation ice-cream-maker Buddy James Nobriga. “Ours requires three hours. It’s a very slow process, like cooking a pot of stew.” There are currently 47 flavors of Roselani ice cream, and Nobriga says that suggestions from the community often provide inspiration for new ones.
Roselani’s distinctive green, gold and rose-colored carton makes it easy to spot in the freezer section, and Nobriga shares an exciting inside scoop: “This summer, we’re introducing pint-sized containers with a completely new design,” he says. Now that’s some very cool news!
