There is something special about strawberry season in the UK.
As the days become longer and warmer, British strawberries begin appearing in abundance, bringing with them the unmistakable taste of summer. Sweet, juicy and bursting with flavour, June marks the beginning of one of our favourite times of year, and here at Salcombe Dairy, we're celebrating accordingly.
From ice cream and chocolate truffles to chocolate-dipped strawberries, we've gone all out on this iconic summer fruit.
A New Take on a British Classic
Few things are more quintessentially British than strawberries and cream. It's a combination that has stood the test of time, appearing everywhere from Wimbledon picnics to afternoon teas.
Our Strawberries & Cream ice cream takes everything you love about this classic pairing and transforms it into a scoopable summer treat. Rich Devon dairy ice cream meets sweet strawberry flavour to create a refreshing dessert that is perfect for sunny afternoons.
Looking for something a little different?
Next time you're enjoying a freshly baked scone, try swapping the traditional dollop of clotted cream for a generous scoop of Strawberries & Cream ice cream instead. It might not be traditional, but it's certainly delicious.
Strawberry & Clotted Cream Truffles
For those who prefer their strawberries with chocolate, our Strawberry & Clotted Cream Truffles offer a little taste of summer in every bite.
These indulgent truffles combine fruity strawberry notes with rich clotted cream centres, all encased in our handcrafted chocolate. They're the perfect companion for a picnic, a thoughtful gift, or simply a moment of indulgence on the go.
Easy to share and even easier to enjoy, they're one of our favourite seasonal treats.
Fresh Strawberries with Dipping Chocolate
If you're visiting us in Salcombe or Dartmouth this summer, make sure you keep an eye out for one of our simplest yet most irresistible seasonal offerings.
Fresh British strawberries served alongside a pot of our melted chocolate for dipping.
Sometimes the best combinations need very little introduction. Sweet strawberries and rich chocolate have been delighting taste buds for generations, and when both ingredients are made with quality in mind, they become something truly memorable.
Whether you're strolling around the harbour, enjoying the sunshine on the waterfront or simply looking for a sweet treat, it's the perfect way to celebrate the season.
Making the Most of Strawberry Season
One of the joys of working with seasonal flavours is that they only come around once a year. While strawberries can be found throughout the year, nothing quite compares to the flavour of British strawberries enjoyed in their natural season.
So whether you're filling your freezer with Strawberries & Cream ice cream, packing a box of truffles for a picnic, or treating yourself to chocolate-dipped strawberries during a visit to Salcombe or Dartmouth, now is the perfect time to embrace this much-loved summer fruit.
After all, strawberry season doesn't last forever.
