La Muu ice cream hit the Estonian market one and half years ago. The man behind the idea \u2013 Rasmus Rask. The ice cream factory is located in Kopli, and the product is made from local and natural ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>The Baltic Guide went to taste some of their ice creams at La Muu\u2019s caf\u00e9 in Viru Keskus. The caf\u00e9 has been packed with ice cream lovers all summer long. \u201cDemand is high\u201d, explained the caf\u00e9\u2019s manager Mona M\u00e4gi.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What makes La Muu so unique?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ice cream is handmade from start to finish. For example, we peel the rhubarb ourselves and squeeze in some lemon juice\u201d. We learned how to use the gelato machine in Italy. \u201cLa Muu ice creams are 100% natural. We use as many local ingredients as possible. For example, the milk used comes from Pajum\u00e4e Farm\u201d, explained Mona.<\/p>\n<p>There is an interesting detail on the label. \u201cWe have written on every package, who prepared the ice cream. Each ice cream has its own story\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We tried seven different types of ice cream. The first spoonful of mango sorbet was truly heavenly. The melt-in-your-mouth, fresh, and taste-lingering sorbet was unbelievably good &#8212; almost as good as the gelato you get in Italy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ice cream is not whipped. This is what makes the texture so great\u201d, added Mona.<\/p>\n<p>Mona M\u00e4gi\u2019s favourite flavour is caramel-sea salt. We tried it too, and what an excellent combination of sweet and salty. This is a flavour not to miss! And the other flavours were pretty good too \u2013kama, rhubarb, black currant, and chocolate. The lemon ice cream was unbelievably fresh, almost like it had been made directly from freshly squeezed lemon juice. The banana ice cream is made with coconut milk, which makes it a good choice for vegans.<\/p>\n<p>You can buy seven different ice creams to take away, even though the caf\u00e9 offers 12 different flavours. They will soon be introducing pistachio ice cream. La Muu is for sale in most Estonia\u2019s biggest cities, and can be found a health food stores too. 400g of ice cream costs \u20ac5.90. \u201cYou can look forward to new flavours at the new year. During winter, we will be making baked apple ice cream\u201d, said Mona, in secret.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to ice cream, you can enjoy food, coffee, and Estonian craft beer at La Muu Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Location<\/p>\n<p>La Muu Kohvik<\/p>\n<p>Viru Keskus 3<sup>rd<\/sup> floor (inside of Rahva Raamat book store), Tallinn B2.<\/p>\n<p>Text Mikko Virta, Photos Andrei Chertkov<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have to admit, organic ice cream just tastes better.
