Texture, creaminess, and flavor are the elements that differentiate artisan ice cream from ice cream manufactured through industrial processes. Malaga artisan ice creams are made with raw materials and lack artificial flavors, preservatives, and colorings.

The choice of ingredients is one of the keys to its preparation. When it comes to making ice cream from fruits, it's ideal to use ripe pieces. Not only do they provide a solution for those last fruits that are harder to sell, but they also offer more flavor thanks to their high levels of fructose. However, as they say, to each their own. And when it comes to preferences, colors, and flavors, there's a wide range to choose from.

Malaga's artisan ice cream covers a wide list of flavors that can be differentiated by their appearance: nougat, shortbread, cherry, Oreo, cookie, coffee, caramel, Nutella, pistachio, watermelon, mango or figs are some of them. Also a flavor that is named after the province: the Malaga flavor ice cream, made from a base made of cream, egg, raisins, and sweet wine. Of course, the traditional flavors cannot be missed: strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream, and vanilla ice cream.

There are some details that help to know if an artisan ice cream is of quality. First of all, this quality is defined by the texture: an ice cream with excess solid pieces will be very hard; ice cream with more sugar melts easily; and ice cream that does not have the proper proportions of fat, lean and protein is more prone to crystallizing and cracking. Secondly, the way the ice cream melts. The melting provides information about the manufacturing process, as it is an indicator of the number of hours of rest an ice cream has had. Depending on how the resting process has been, the ice cream may melt more on the surface or it may melt homogeneously.

In a cone or in a cup. Artisanal ice cream from Málaga is usually consumed in two ways: in cups or in ice cream cones. The advantage of ice cream cones, made of wafer, allows you to eat the ice cream without the need for a spoon. Although traditionally ice cream has also been served as a milkshake, dessert, and as an accompaniment to cakes and other dishes that serve as the finishing touch to an excellent menu.
