Company description

Culture Cream’s colorful flavors are matched only by the freshness of local ingredients: blueberries, raspberries, juneberries, and pineapple. With an appreciation and respect for seasonality and sustainability, our flavors change based on the weather and seasons. Spring is marked by tart citrus packed with Vitamin C, while berries welcome the Summer with their bursting sweetness and antioxidant benefits. The yellowing leaves of Fall are welcomed with stone fruits, herbs and foraged ingredients.

Each season we announce our new flavors with this Summer’s latest creation green probiotic ice cream made with avocado, local nettle and an array of wild herbs.

Culture Cream grew out of Katiushka’s love for healthful living and need to experiment and create. Ice cream is a blank canvas waiting to be infused with herbs, fruits, fungi and fermented addons. It is an opportunity to create community through food, a moment to gather and honor our plants, our foraged foods and to learn about the evolving future of food. It’s a cultural movement and we welcome you to be a part of it.
