More than sweet - the secret of the flavor universe of ice cream潘玉When it comes to ice cream, many people’s first reaction is “sweet”. But those who have truly tasted various types of ice cream will find that its flavor world is far richer than the word "sweet". From the most common vanilla flavor in corner convenience stores to the niche flavors available in limited quantities in high-end dessert shops, the birth of each flavor is inseparable from the characteristics of the raw materials, the polishing of the craftsmanship, and the imprint of regional culture. When we tear open the package or scoop out a spoonful, what we taste is not only the fusion of butterfat and sugar, but also a story of exploration of flavor.

Many people are obsessed with this taste, but few delve into it: What secrets are hidden in a perfect scoop of ice cream? In fact, this century-old delicacy is essentially an exquisite "magic" performed by butterfat, sugar and air at low temperatures.

From the pasture to the tip of the tongue - the journey of tracing the origin of ice cream ingredients潘玉A spoonful of silky and mellow ice cream enters your mouth, and the frankincense slowly spreads on the tip of your tongue.

The quality of ice cream is determined from the moment the core ingredients leave the ranch. The protein content of milk, the purity of butterfat of cream, and the sucrose crystallinity of sugar. Each indicator hides the code of taste. From the sun and rain on the ranch, to the raw material selection workshop, to the final freezing and molding, this journey of tracing the origin of raw materials across thousands of miles hides all the secrets of the "deliciousness" of ice cream, and also makes every bite of ice cream carry the gift of nature and the persistence of craftsmanship.
One scoop travels through the centuries - the past and present of ice cream潘玉On the streets in the summer afternoon, the colorful ice cream in the freezer can always easily arouse people's appetite. When the cold, silky texture melts on the tip of the tongue, and the sweetness spreads along the taste buds, few people would have thought that this small spoonful of delicious food contains the code of civilization that spans thousands of years. From the rare tributes of ancient palaces to the daily desserts that everyone can enjoy today, every evolution of ice cream is engraved with the mark of the times.
