Since the Singapore weather has been so hot lately, how about digging into some gourmet ice creams? Denmark-based ice cream brand Ekselence has rolled out two new flavours that are unique to their region: EKSELENCEⓇ Apricot Sorbet with Rhubarb Ice Cream and EKSELENCEⓇ Riga Black Balsam & Brownie.
EKSELENCEⓇ Ice Cream And Sorbet Flavours
EKSELENCEⓇ hails from the Baltic and Denmark, focusing on showcasing the best of Latvian milk and cream to provide a rich and flavourful ice cream experience. As such, their flavours are some we cannot usually find in Singapore – starting with the Apricot Sorbet with Rhubarb Ice Cream ($12.90 for 500ml tub).
Rhubarb is a seasonal spring vegetable that has a sweet and tart flavour usually used in pies, cookies and other desserts. Ekselence has paired it with the sweetness of apricots for a well-balanced sweet and floral dessert! The ice cream-sorbet pair makes for a refreshing mouthfeel that isn’t too cloying, but still retains a satisfying creaminess from the high quality milk used.
On the other hand, the Riga Black Balsam & Brownie ($12.90 for a pack of 3 bars) is rich and decadent. It is made with Riga Black Balsam, a traditional Latvian herbal liqueur that has over 17 botanical ingredients infused into it, including Black Pepper, Ginger and Peruvian Balsamic Oil. It’s considered Latvia’s national liqueur! This is paired with a rich chocolate brownie and coated in a crunchy chocolate shell, meant for a luxurious post-dinner treat. The ice cream does come with a 3% alcohol content per bar, so do take note of that.
You can get both flavours, along with more of Ekselence’s products at all FairPrice and Cold Storage outlets! You can follow them on Facebook and Instagram to find out more.
