Celebrate Ice Cream Month at Mitchells

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month, so since it’s official, what better month to dig into your favourite flavours at Mitchells Dairy!

Even though it’s an American tradition, we don’t think anyone will mind that we’re going to celebrate ice cream throughout the month of July - do you?

Made using Aberdeenshire grown ingredients in partnership with Rizza's of Huntly, Mitchells ice cream is available in 3 delicious flavours – Luxury Dairy, Crannachan and Blueberries & Cream.

Our hugely popular Blueberries & Cream ice cream is made using Castleton Farm Shop’s delicious blueberries, and incidentally, we have been selected by Castleton Farm Shop as their supplier of the month for July!

If you can’t choose between the flavours (we can't blame you...) we are currently running a competition on Facebook where you can win all three!

All you have to do is log onto the Mitchells Dairy Facebook page and guess how many red, white and blue balloons were on display in our window to celebrate Inverurie4u’s Independent Retailers Day.

Although our current range is Luxury Dairy, Crannachan and Blueberries & Cream, we did recently experiment in the kitchen at home with something a little more unusual.

After we got chatting to Fi Bird at Taste of Grampian, we made some sea lettuce ice cream from her book The Forager's Kitchen!

Now, we’re not sure whether it will ever become a Mitchells flavour, but if it proves popular, you just never know...

I-Rizza-stible Ice Cream Cakes at Mitchells

We know how much everyone loves ice cream and cakes on their own, so what could possibly be better? Well, thankfully for you, we have something that is MUCH better - Rizza's of Huntly's delicious ice cream cakes!

Whether it's for a birthday, christening, anniversary, or just because you love ice cream, Rizza's cake's are the ideal party treat!

Established in 1914, the Rizza family opened their first business in the North East of Scotland, and thankfully, they have been making delicious ice cream cakes ever since.

Ice Cream Gateaux Range

All of the cakes in Rizza's Ice Cream Gateux Range, including the delicious Neapolitan Cassatta on your right, are made up of tasty vanilla, strawberry and chocolate ice cream, and a raspberry sauce based sponge, piped with ice cream. Mmmm.

If you are buying a cake for the kids, you may prefer Rizza's novelty range, where you can choose from a train, car, castle, bear or dog shaped ice cream cake! These novelty cakes will be sure to go down a treat.

Christmas Range

Rizza's also have a selection of scrumptious Christmas ice cream cakes for you to choose from, assuming that you have some room left after your Christmas dinner this year.

Not only do they taste delicious, but we think they are a really unique change to your usual ice cream dessert!

Thankfully for you, all of the cakes mentioned above can be ordered from Mitchells store.
