In collaboration with VITRUVI essential oils, vegan pizza and plant-based ice cream creator Virtuous Pie launched a limited-edition dessert that takes cues from the brand's oils. The vegan ice cream was created to have a floral and zesty aroma, taking cues from the distinctive scents of lavender and Meyer lemons.
As part of the launch of the limited-edition ice cream, Virtuous Pie held an event in its Vancouver, Canada, location and came together with other brands that served as a representation of the 'Mind, Body and Home.'
The potent flavors of citrus and herbs are appealing to consumers who are looking to expand their palates and explore the versatility of all-natural ingredients like lavender and lemon.
