'Salt & Straw' Brings Artisanal Ice Cream to Los Angeles
Katherine Pendrill — December 19, 2016 — Lifestyle
After taking the Portland food scene by storm, artisanal ice cream company 'Salt & Straw' has become a fixture in Los Angeles. Unlike other ice cream companies, the brand serves up creative flavor combinations using unexpected ingredients such as sea urchins and fermented carrots.
Salt & Straw originally began as a food cart and eventually transformed into a brick-and-mortar shop in Portland. Now the brand has several locations in Oregon and California that continue to churn out the same high-quality, artisanal ice cream. Some of the most intriguing flavors served at the Los Angeles locations include Honeyed Butter Tarts, Black Olive Brittle & Goat Cheese and Freckled Woodblock Chocolate.
With so many unique scoops to choose from, the experimental ice cream shop is the perfect destination for those attending Trend Hunter's Los Angeles innovation conference who are curious about the future of foodie culture.
