Everything is made by hand in small batches and locally sourced where possible &#8211; chocolate from Suffolk&#8217;s Pump Street Chocolates, Cambridge honey, and coffee from the city&#8217;s artisan roasters.

The gelato is prepared daily on site and there&#8217;s no an artificial flavouring in sight. Choose from chocolate, pistachio, vanilla and mango. Oh, and make sure to call it gelato and not ice cream &#8211; they&#8217;re very particular about that! </p><p><a href="https://www.aromi.co.uk/menu" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Find out more here</a></p></div></div></div></div>

He&#8217;s since gone on to win multiple Great Taste awards for his luxury flavours &#8211; Hand Picked Blackberry, Summer Strawberries &amp; Cream, Summerdown Farm Mint Chocolate and Salted Butter Caramel are top of my list.

All the ice creams sold here are handmade on site using locally grown ingredients. Seasonal fruit for the ice cream comes from Boxted Berries and High House Fruit Farm, Orford. While the eggs are collected weekly from Elmsett Game Farm in Assington.

The beauty of these fruit ice creams is that all the fruit used comes directly from the farm, so it&#8217;s 100% farm-to-fork (or should that be farm-to-cone!). </p><p><a href="https://www.alder-tree.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Find out more</a></p></div></div></div></div>
