The Cream of Dorset
How local ingredients make a sundae best
W
ith its beautiful beaches and
non-stop sunshine (well one out
of two isn’t bad), Dorset must be
one of the finest places to enjoy an ice cream.
But when you want it taste local too, Purbeck
Ice Cream manages to swirl the flavours
of Dorset into each lick of their acclaimed
range, as owner Hazel Hartle explains….
“All our milk comes from
Knaveswell Farm run by Paul
and Jo Dyer who keep Friesians
on 100 acres between Corfe
Castle and Swanage.”
“Sorbets are made with
Dorset spring water.”
“Double cream comes from
Dorset farms via Pattemore
Dairies and Clotted Cream
from BV Dairy – also Dorset...”
“Our Dorset flavours include
Dorset Watercress and Dorset
Wasabi (both sourced from
Waddock Cross)…”
“…Fig & Honey (the honey is from
Robert Field who has hives from
Durlston to the Corfe Castle)…”
“…Apple & Cinnamon (apples from our
son Joe who makes Purbeck Cider), And
our Dorset Blue Vinny was from the only
remaining Blue Vinny maker.”
