With over 15 years of dedication to crafting their artisan ice cream and sorbets, Granny Gothards has earned acclaim both locally here in Mid Devon and internationally. Their commitment to quality is unwavering – every batch is hand-made in Mid Devon to maintain the exceptional standard set from day one.
With more than 195 flavours created (and counting!), from much loved favourites like their strawberries & cream to rice pudding flavour, and even bespoke alcoholic flavours like a Tribute flavoured ice-cream! There is something for everyone to enjoy. What truly sets this handcrafted ice cream apart is the commitment to authenticity. No artificial flavours, preservatives, or shortcuts are taken - but you get the sweet, velvety, and irresistibly creamy taste every time.
At Granny Gothards, they believe that Mother Nature provides all the best ingredients. The secret to their unique flavour lies in the daily delivery of the first milking from Oak Park Dairy (situated nearby in Clyst Hidon, Cullompton) – a blend of Jersey and Friesian breeds, renowned for their deliciously high butterfat milk. Mixed with thick double cream from Gundenhams, a West Country Dairy, they create a crème anglaise with Clarence Court egg yolks and a secret sugar blend. From the cows in the fields to the homemade mixing process, Granny Gothards truly goes from field to fork (or cone!) here in Mid Devon.
It's this hand-made, slow-churning process that infuses the ice cream with a luscious consistency, ensuring that each scoop is a moment of pure indulgence.
Experience the Granny Gothards taste – a symphony of passion, natural flavours, and a dedication to quality. You can purchase locally at Fordmore Farm Shop & Cafe, in cafes across Mid Devon and the UK, and on their online store.
