About Us
"To this day, nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing someone eating my ice cream,
the ice cream I've dreamt about and handmade."
FROM THE BOY IN HIS PARENT'S KITCHEN.
With Mum’s help in 2010 the very first batch of ice cream was lovingly handmade. With a huge smile on my face I felt proud, for together we had made amazing ice cream like I remembered enjoying as a child.
The Saffron Ice Cream Company was born to produce the finest ice cream. We proudly use ingredients from local growers to create award-winning flavours and help support our community.
We hope you enjoy the ice cream we have made for you.
