After hours of walking around Lausanne and arriving into Geneva in the sweltering heat, we needed something to cool down. After much asking around and searching we finally found a Movenpick stand.. and after much contemplating, I finally settled on a cacao and orange ice cream. I also had their seasonal banana ice cream with chunks of bananas.. It ain't no Ben and Jerry's but I guess it will have to do!!
Anyone who knows me well knows that I can NEVER pass up ice cream. Thankfully here in Switzerland the land of moo cows and thus anything dairy, they are quite famous for their ice cream. The creme de la creme here is Movenpick ( yes as in the hotel chain)
Movenpick first entered the ice cream world through production for their restaurants. In
1968, Movenpick decided to centralize their ice cream production for the entire company- and within a year, Movenpick ice cream became the companies' number one branded item.
By 1982, Movenpick ice cream became it's own branded sector within the company- spinning off from the parent company. In 2003, Movenpick Ice Cream brand was sold to Nestle ( as in the parent company to Cailler.. which hopefully I will be walking to from my dorm this weekend!)
Movenpick has always maintained strict standards with using all natural ingredients and not using any articificial additives in their ice cream- always using the traditional Sabayon base for maximum creaminess and richness. Fruit and vegetable juices are used in lieu of artifical coloring. Fresh, clean , natural = yummy!
When in Switzerland you must try Movenpick ice cream.. at least once. .It is worth every calorie!
