What Is Super Premium Ice Cream?

Have you ever really read Cold Cow's label on it's ice cream? We're labeled as a Super Premium supplier... but what exactly does that mean?

To be considered super-premium, ice cream needs an 'overrun' of less than 50%.

Ice cream overrun refers to the amount of air pushed into the ice cream while it is being made. The standard of 50% overrun means that the ice cream is made with one part air to every two parts cream.

So, to put it simply... Ice Cream that contains 50% or more of just air, isn't premium.

Now that you know, go with the best! Go with Cold Cow Premium Ice Cream!

Ever Wonder How Ice Cream Is Made?

Ever wonder how that delicious frosty treat is made? Well, we're here to tell you... or... How Stuff Works is here to tell you.

Our process is slightly different (to make it extra yummy) but we think you'll get the idea.

Whether it's being made in your kitchen with a hand crank, at a local homemade ice cream shop with a stand-alone ice cream maker, or in a factory that cranks out thousands of gallons of ice cream every day, the process of making ice cream is basically the same. The only difference is the scale of the operation.
First, you need ice cream mix. You can buy commercially made ice cream mix that is set to a certain milk fat content. Ice cream factories usually make their own mix by combining milk, cream and sugar in a 3,000 gallon vat, with the proportions and mixing controlled by computers. The mix is then pasteurized, or heated, to kill any harmful bacteria. If you were to make your own mix at home, you could pasteurize it by cooking it in a double boiler, or use an egg substitute or pasteurized egg product. This step is important, because otherwise people who eat your homemade ice cream could get sick due to salmonella contamination. According to the Centers for Disease Control, those most at risk include the elderly, very young children, and people with compromised immune systems.
