Local Love: How We Source and Utilize Denver's Finest Ingredients
At Pint’s Peak Ice Cream, we believe that great ice cream starts with great ingredients. That's why we take pride in sourcing the finest locally grown and produced ingredients from the heart of Denver and Colorado. From creamy dairy sourced from Morning Fresh Dairy to luscious peaches from Palisade, each ingredient tells a story of our commitment to quality and our dedication to supporting our local community.
Our journey to crafting the perfect scoop begins with the freshest dairy from Morning Fresh Dairy in Bellvue, Colorado. Known for their dedication to sustainable farming practices and top-quality products, Morning Fresh Dairy provides us with the pesticide-free and hormone-free dairy that forms the foundation of our artisanal ice cream.
To add a touch of sophistication and depth to our flavors, we turn to the exceptional spirits crafted by Ironton Distillery. Their handcrafted spirits infuse our ice cream with unique and complex notes, elevating each scoop to a new level of indulgence in flavors like Whiskey Dulce and Spiked Eggnog for the holidays.
We celebrate the bounty of Colorado's harvest by incorporating locally sourced fruits and produce. From the juicy peaches of Palisade in Peach Cardamom Crisp to the sweet corn from Olathe in our Sweet Corn & Blackberries flavor, each ingredient reflects the vibrant flavors of our region. Our commitment to using locally sourced ingredients extends to our sweeteners as well. We proudly feature Local Hive honey in our Honeycomb Vanilla flavor, highlighting the rich and complex flavors of Colorado's wildflower honey. From the crisp, tartness of Colorado-grown apples to local favorites like Rocky Ford watermelons and Pablo’s Coffee, each ingredient plays a vital role in creating the unique and unforgettable flavors that define Pint’s Peak Ice Cream.
We're passionate about crafting ice cream that not only tastes delicious but also tells a story. By sourcing the finest locally grown and produced ingredients, we celebrate the flavors of our region and support our local community. From dairy and spirits to fruits and sweeteners, each ingredient reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and the vibrant culinary landscape of Denver and Colorado.
