OUR CORE BELIEFS

We started by inventing our own ice cream machine — the only one of its kind that can churn the freshest, creamiest scoop in 90 seconds. Then we made sure our ingredients are just as fresh. Everything from our ice cream bases and cone batter, to sauces and cookies are made from scratch using only unprocessed, real, locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. 

BE FRESH
We invented a new way to make ice cream because we know it tastes best when it’s made fresh. We proudly bake, blanche, caramelize, chop, drizzle, glaze, hull, knead, peel, puree, sift, simmer, steep, strain, toast, whip, whisk and zest in our commissary kitchen in San Francisco.  Then, each and every scoop and pint of ice cream is fresh-churned in micro-batches. We put such tremendous effort in with one purpose in mind: to allow the intensity and purity of the flavor and the unparalleled texture shine through!

STAY REAL
We believe ice cream ingredient labels should be 100% clean and easy to read. That means no 3 syllable words, no letter “x”s, no gums, no fillers and no chemicals or potential carcinogens (looking at you Red 40).  Zero zilch nada.  Just pure, clean, magnificently fresh flavors.

PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD
We believe ice cream should be fun, creative and always striving to be better. Reengineering ice cream from the ground up means sometimes going against the status quo and always thinking of new, outside-the-box ways to bring fresh, real ice cream to more people.  ‘Crafting the freshest ice cream experiences’ is Smitten’s North Star.
