I consider my wife an ice cream connoisseur since she loves real ice cream, but for years now when we go shopping together in the grocery store I would find her in the frozen food isle examining the ice cream container ingredients with disgust and rejection. It’s now gotten to the point where she can’t find one product that passes her scrutiny in large chain grocery stores. Real ice cream is extremely hard to find except in rural creameries and it would surely be a booming business for anyone who would start making and marketing it in scale. Real ice cream is the simplest of products to make at home but the big names in the field can’t seem to stop dreaming up ways to cheat and fool the customer on this product.
She should check out the Aldi’s Premium line of ice cream. It has a short ingredient list and very little whipped in air. You can tell by the weight of the container that you’re getting your money’s worth. They only sell it in two flavors — vanilla and chocolate — but it is excellent and the price is right.
