GALLIVANT FLAVORS
Gallivant Ice Creams are Mawa Ice Creams made with milk, MaahVaah® branded South Asian milk solids
and authentic globally-sourced ingredients.
Mango
Mangoes are the ‘King of Fruits' in India. While gallivanting in this exotic nation, we learned that the Indian Mango is sweet and velvety in taste and has a saffron-ish aroma, making them the best Mango in the world!
Black Sesame
Black Sesame, a specialty of China, has traveled the Silk Roads since 200 B.C.! While gallivanting through Asia, we learned that Chinese black sesame seeds have an unrivaled nutty taste and a distinct aroma that make them the best Black Sesame seeds in the world!
Coconut
Coconut, also called the Pharoh’s nut, has traveled the Silk Route from South East Asia to Africa and Europe for over 2,000 years! While gallivanting throughout the world, we learned that coconuts from Thailand have the sweetest and freshest taste, making them the best coconuts in the world!
Chocolate
Gallivant Chocolate is made from Cacao Beans sourced from the West African region- the same region that supplies the famous European and American chocolatiers! We went straight to the African source to bring you the best chocolate in the world!
Pistachio
Pistachios, also known as the ‘smiling nut’, have been enjoyed since 7000 B.C. in the Persian region! While gallivanting in this blessed and, we learned from the locals that these pistachios have an unrivaled taste and a fresh aroma that make them the best Pistachio in the world!
Matcha
The Japanese have enjoyed the flavor and health benefits of Matcha Green Tea since the 12th century. While gallivanting in this tradition-rich nation, we learned that compared to the traditional green tea, Matcha Green Tea is bright green in color and has a rich, smooth flavor making it the best Matcha in the world!
Cardamom
Cardamom, though having Indian roots, are a specialty of beautiful Guatemala. While gallivanting in this Central American terrain, we learned that this spice has the strongest aroma in the world and tastes similar to cinnamon and ginger combined.
