Get ready for a flavor experience unlike any other! A new ice cream is making waves across the United States, and it's inspired by a taste you probably haven't experienced since infancy: breast milk.
Frida & OddFellows' Breast Milk Ice Cream: What's the Buzz?
Frida, a company specializing in products for parents, has partnered with OddFellows, a New York-based small-batch ice cream company, to launch a limited-edition "Breast Milk Ice Cream." The flavor initially went viral earlier this year, and due to popular demand, it's now available for nationwide shipping.
But before you get too excited (or disgusted!), let's clear something up...
Is It *Actually* Made With Breast Milk?
The answer is no. The ice cream is designed to *mimic* the flavor of breast milk. According to Frida, the ingredients include milk, heavy cream, skim milk powder, sugar, dextrose, egg yolks, invert sugar, guar gum, salted caramel flavoring, honey syrup, liposomal bovine colostrum, yellow food color, a preservative, and FD&C Red 40.
So, What Does It Taste Like?
Frida describes the ice cream as "sweet, a little salty, smooth, with hints of honey and sprinkles of colostrum." They also state it tastes "freshly expressed and oddly familiar."
Where Can You Get Your Hands On This Unique Treat?
Nationwide shipping is available through the Frida website until August 10th. If you're in the Brooklyn area, you can visit a pop-up shop at the OddFellows Dumbo location (44 Water Street) from August 5th-10th to grab a scoop in person.
Whether you're curious, adventurous, or simply looking for a conversation starter, Frida and OddFellows' Breast Milk Ice Cream is definitely a flavor worth talking about!
