Indulge in the vibrant, earthy flavors of premium matcha ice cream, a delightful frozen treat perfect for any occasion. This artisanal ice cream offers a unique taste experience, blending the subtle bitterness of green tea with creamy sweetness.
Storage Time
Best consumed within 1-2 weeks for optimal texture and flavor when stored properly in the freezer. While technically safe to eat for longer, quality will degrade.
Temperature
Maintain a consistent freezer temperature of -18°C (0°F) or lower to preserve its creamy texture and prevent ice crystal formation.
Freezing
Matcha ice cream is already a frozen product and is best stored directly in the freezer. If you have a large quantity and wish to portion it, ensure it's tightly sealed in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Thawing is not recommended as it will significantly alter the texture, leading to a watery and icy consistency. Enjoy directly from the freezer.
Signs of Spoilage
- Presence of large ice crystals on the surface, indicating repeated thawing and refreezing or prolonged storage.
- Off-putting, sour, or fermented smell, a clear sign of bacterial growth.
- Significant color change, such as browning or a duller green hue, suggesting oxidation or spoilage.
