Snoqualmie Gourmet has produced over 700 ice cream super premium flavors, plus dozens of gelato and frozen custard flavors.

Ingredient Sourcing
We spend a lot of time sourcing the best ingredients - starting first in our own garden where we grow fruit and herbs. Whenever possible we support our local farmers who provide our milk and cream and the fruit for some of our most popular flavors like Skagit Valley Strawberry and Cascade Mountain Blackberry. And when we have to go further afield for flavors such as vanilla beans and chocolate, we conduct hours of research and taste-testing to find the finest and freshest ingredients. In the case of chocolate, for example, after much experimentation, we decided that only the exquisite chocolate of Barry Callebaut would suffice for us.

Handcrafted Preparation
Once we have the best ingredients on hand, we use our custom base ice cream mix and the precise combination of ingredients to create our flavors. The process involves a lot of research and testing, but the results are worth it! Our goal is to deliver the best in every product we make and we never cut corners to arrive at that goal.

Our handcrafted approach allows us to partner with Seattle area chefs to create unique custom blends such as Rose Petal and Jack Daniels. We are always developing new flavors and would love to hear from you about your favorites or new flavors you would like to taste soon.

Why is Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream so Much Better?

1. Air content. “Overrun” is a percentage that helps define air content of ice cream. It refers to the increase in the volume amount of finished ice cream over the volume of mix used.

For example, low-cost ice creams are 100% overrun. Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream keeps a watchful eye and controls overrun (air content). Our overrun is approximately 15%. What's the difference? Lower air content=Higher ice cream content and volume, which results in an enhanced texture due to increased density and decreased “fluff.”

2. Butterfat. Most ice creams top out with a Butterfat content of 18%. Snoqualmie Gourmet's STARTS at 18%. Combine that added richness with our already bold, complex flavor intensity, with very low overrun, and you will find yourself in an absolute dessert heaven!
