The Organic Scoop for Scoop Shops
Straus Family Creamery is proud to announce the first organic ice cream mix to be available in the U.S. Using only organic ingredients, no emulsifiers and with 14% butterfat, scoop shops can now provide their own deliciously flavored organic treats.

With the consolidation of dairy processors, the selection of ice cream mix has become smaller and the guarantee of finding a GMO-free and emulsifier-free product is nearly impossible. The availability of Straus Ice Cream Mix, which contains just organic milk, cream, sugar and egg yolk, allows scoop shops a much desired option.

For those who don’t have the equipment to make their own ice cream, Straus is also offering their Super-Premium 17% Organic Ice Cream in 3-gallon bulk containers for food service. Flavors include Vanilla Bean, Dutch Chocolate and Raspberry.
