Arce

Celebrated Andi's birthday last Sunday with our favorite Arce Dairy Ice Cream flavors of mantecado (butter ice cream) and caramel (sugar ice cream).  These two go very well with the cakes and pastries that we got from Banapple.  The brand is the new ice cream brand of the Arce family, which started ice cream production in the 1930s as Selecta Ice Cream (this brand was later sold to the RFM Corporation in 1990).  My all-time favorite flavor, of course, is shown on the picture on the left--atis (sweet sop)!  The difference that segregates the Arce ice cream from the rest, is that the main ingredient is carabao milk!  Creamier, richer, with more fats and protein, this is the absolute pride and joy of Philippine ice cream.  It is inexpensive (half a galloon costs under P300) and available most anywhere in the Metro.  Enjoy!
