The Finest Ingredients

Quality Ingredients Make Quality Ice Cream, Sorbet, and Softice

“We have an obligation to ourselves and our customers to use only the very best ingredients.”

Joachim Kastberg

Since the founding of Kastbergs Gourmet Ice Cream, Joachim Kastberg has worked closely with suppliers to source the finest ingredients. It is these ingredients, and the care with which they are handled, that create the exceptional flavors in our icecream, sorbet, and softice.

Fresh Milk from local farmers

Less than 40 km from our icecream production in Denmark lies a cooperative of local dairy farmers located in the central Jutland village of Them. Since 1888, Them has been producing dairy products using high-quality milk from local farms. This tradition continues today, with Them being the Danish dairy cooperaive closest to its farms—the farthest being only 30 km away.
 

Dark Chocolate developed in house

Joachim Kastberg, in collaboration with Callebaut’s development team in Paris, has created Kastbergs Dark Chocolate. With a cocoa content of 72.7%, its flavor profile is deep, slightly tangy, and features notes of fresh berries. This chocolate is specifically designed to freeze perfectly with ice cream, ensuring the ideal snap. A delicious, custom-developed ingredient.

Danish Strawberries from a very special island

We use plenty of Danish strawberries from Samsø in our ice cream and sorbet. These strawberries are of a unique variety, known for their intense flavor and vibrant color. Grown under the island’s special climatic conditions, these strawberries are truly exceptional.

Danish Blackcurrants

We believe in using Danish fruits and berries whenever possible. Locally grown produce offers unparalleled quality, traceability, and, importantly, shorter transportation distances. Why transport ingredients farther than necessary?

For this reason, we source our blackcurrants for our blackcurrant sorbet from a small town, located just 45 km from our production facility in Denmark.
