New York residents may have seen the Van Leeuwen artisan ice cream van casually parked in their neighbourhood, teasing them with a range of hand made delights [the strawberry ice cream boasts hand picked strawberries sourced seasonally, while the vanilla is oak barrel aged for three months with ingredients including organic bourbon, and Tahitian beans].
However, this enterprise is not only a NY culinary gem, it is a forward thinking business with eco-friendly packaging solutions.
The spoons are made by World Centric and are biocompostable made from non-GMO corn starch, while the bowls are Bagasse, made from residual sugarcane fiber, leftover after juice extraction and can withstand temperatures of up to 220 degrees F.
