Mmm, Jersey-fresh

Our local ice cream shop won the Grand Prix of Japanese ice cream! How cool is that?! It's a bit of a hike from our place, so we've only been a few times, but damn, that ice cream is good! The shop keeps Jersey cows in a field nearby, so their milk is extremely fresh. A few of the cool flavors we've tried or heard about:

Tomato

Sake

Camembert

Black Sesame

And of course they have the usual suspects. The chocolate might be the best chocolate I've ever tasted. Creamy fresh goodness!

Camembert sounds interesting. How is it?

I was visiting New York not too long ago, and got taken to a place famous for their somewhat unusual flavours of gelato. We had an olive oil gelato, sprinkled with sea salt. Which sounded quite bizarre, but actually turned out to be delicious.

Camembert was all ice creamy goodness, with a cheese aftertaste. Not my style. The tomato was pretty good, though.
