When you’re choosing ice cream, the brand you buy says a lot about what you value, quality ingredients, sustainability, craftsmanship, and care. We believe ice cream should be more than just a sweet treat. It should be made with all natural ingredients, and that’s what we feel, sets us apart.
1. Carefully Crafted, Not Mass-Produced
Unlike big commercial brands, every batch of our ice cream is made with attention to detail. Our small team in Salcombe follows traditional methods, using locally sourced Devonshire full cream milk and double cream, never milk substitutes. Every tub is made in our nut-free factory and churned in small batches to ensure perfect texture and flavour.
2. All-Natural, Free-From Goodness
We’re proud to say that all our ice creams are:
-
Nut free (made in a completely nut-free factory)
-
Gluten free
-
Egg free
For those with allergies or food sensitivities, it means they can indulge without worry. And for everyone else, it’s simply better ice cream with fewer unnecessary ingredients.
3. Better for the Planet
When you order from Salcombe Dairy, your ice cream doesn’t just taste good, it does good too. Our packaging is designed to be as sustainable as possible:
-
Delivered in denim insulation made from recycled jeans, helping to keep your ice cream freezer-fresh.
-
We use fully recyclable or reusable outer packaging, reducing waste and encouraging a circular economy.
We’re also conscious of our energy use, sourcing from sustainable providers wherever possible and constantly improving our environmental impact.
4. Supporting Local & Ethical Practices
Being independent allows us to stay true to our values. We use fresh, local ingredients wherever possible, supporting the Devon economy. We employ a dedicated local team, keeping traditional ice cream-making skills alive.
5. Flavours with Heart & Heritage
Our flavours are inspired by the coast, countryside, and community around us. From the nostalgic comfort of Madagascan Vanilla to festive favourites like Christmas Pudding, every tub tells a story of quality and provenance. We make what we love to eat and hope you’ll love it too.
Small Makers, Big Flavours
Choosing independent isn’t just about avoiding the big brands. It’s about getting an ice cream that’s been made with heart, with better ingredients, less environmental impact, and a whole lot more flavour.
You can taste the difference with every scoop.
