My first thought was that it has a very old-fashioned flavor. Intensely chocolatey with a heavy dose of malt (as opposed to tasting like cheap chocolate and high fructose corn syrup). I enjoyed the flavor a lot, but have to say the texture was no better than any number of quality ice creams. A good product with quality ingredients, made by dairy farmers with good ethics--a large part of the farm's equipment is powered by poop! Short explanation: methane gas is converted into electricity. It's worth the splurge in both dollars and calories.Of course, my trick was to not let myeslf buy it until I'd saved up enough glass jars to pay for it. Straus re-imburses you for every glass bottle (from milk/cream/half and half) that you return to the store. Three bottles is more than enough for the ice cream!

i love their milk too. it's only offered at the co-op in davis though. i like their glass containers. do you know how their butter is?
Don't know how their butter is, but Plugra is my favorite and head and shoulders above anything else I've tried (and decently priced). Jana Valley and Vermont Cheese Co. are great for eating plain on bread, but way too pricey for cooking.
Please stop eating Smart Balance!!
hahah okay okay! i only had extra containers b/c they came in packets of 2 and andrew wanted me to use it for his cookies. weirdo.
Ew!! Yucky. Just eat fewer cookies! Or find a recipe that doesn't use as much butter.
