July is National Ice Cream month. Now really, what better way to pass a summer month than in the company of good ice cream? We recommend Loard’s, our local ice cream legend.

The company was founded more than 60 years ago and they’re still making the award-winning, premium ice cream that has made them a Bay Area favorite. Their secret to longevity and success? An unwavering commitment to premium ingredients and customer service.

Loard’s still makes their ice cream by hand, using fresh mangoes, peaches and strawberries in their fruit flavors. Seasonal favorites include pumpkin and eggnog; and Loard’s is one of the few companies that still makes an old standby, Burgundy Cherry. Chocolate lovers are intensely loyal to Loards’ rich, chewy Brownie Nut Fudge and Double Dutch.

Loards also makes sorbets and sherbets in unusual flavors like Pear, Apple-Cinnamon and Champagne. These sorbets may be a light, refreshing way to top off a summer meal, but like all of the Loard’s products, there is no compromising when it comes to flavor.
