“From Cow to Cone” – Walpole Creamery ice cream –the best right from the start!
Locally sourced: Walpole Creamery, Ltd. (the “Creamery”) was established in 2006 in Walpole, New Hampshire. The Creamery produces award-winning, locally sourced, small batch, all-natural, super premium ice cream at its production facility at 532 Main Street in Walpole starting with fresh Jersey milk from Crescent Farm in Walpole.
Proprietary Base Sweet Cream and Double Dutch Chocolate base Mixes: While most “local” ice cream makers buy their base mix from large commercial producers, we make ours from scratch. We know where our cows are located! We use local, hormone and antibiotic-free milk and high-quality, all natural ingredients – which are locally sourced as much as possible. For example, the maple syrup for our Real Maple Walnut ice cream comes from the Twin Spruce Farm in Walpole. Our based mix is marketed as our Sweet Cream flavor – a favorite of bakers as it does not detract from the flavors of the baked goods it rests upon.
Our Double Dutch Chocolate ice cream is crafted by cooking rich, premium Dutch cocoa powder right into our base mix, allowing the flavors to blend and deepen. This results in a dense, intensely satisfying chocolate experience, superior to that of any chocolate ice cream on the market today.
Super Premium: Super Premium is not a title we made up. There are actually several recognized grades of ice cream based on the quality of the ingredients, the amount of overrun (air) in the product, and the milk fat content of the final product. Standard ice cream is 10% milk fat and generally 100% overrun. Our ice cream is over 16% milk fat with 25% overrun.
All Natural: All-natural is also a title we carry with pride. Our ice cream meets the non-GMO standards set by the State of Vermont in 2016 and we are marketed in local co-ops and have been accepted into Whole foods as an all-natural product.
Award Winning: Walpole Creamery ice cream has been awarded “Best in the Monadnock Region” medals and “Best in New Hampshire” on numerous occasions. In addition Yankee Magazine has twice featured our ice cream. In 2019 for our Real Maple Walnut as one of the best flavors in New England and then in 2020 as the Best Ice Cream in New Hampshire. From cow to cone, each step in the Walpole Creamery’s production process ensures the quality its customers expect from an local, all-natural, super premium ice cream.
Distribution: Our ice cream is distributed to 89 Hannaford grocery stores through North Atlantic Naturals and to al the NE Region Whole Foods stores through Rainforest Distribution. In addition we are distributed to over 40 smaller regional stores through Associated Grocers and to an additional 50 local stores, co-ops and farm stands through our own truck.
Licensing and audits: Walpole Creamery is a NH State licensed milk processing and testing plant. In addition we are a licensed milk hauler for Agri-Mark. Our February third party food safety audit earned a 99% and our February NH state machinery and production inspections earned 97%. Our ice cream parlor is a fully licensed food service facility with an 24 indoor and 24 outdoor seating capacity.
