Velvet Ice Cream Launches Limited Edition Flavors

Velvet ice cream is releasing its limited-edition new ice cream flavors, created especially for the holidays.

Back by popular demand for the season, Velvet's Pumpkin Pie and Pure Cinnamon Ice Creams are now available. Pumpkin Pie Velvet Ice Cream features rich pumpkin ice cream blended with cinnamon, nutmeg and bits of crispy pie crust. Velvet's wildly popular Pure Cinnamon flavor is made from its Original Vanilla Ice Cream blended with pure fine-ground cinnamon.  While Velvet’s Pure Cinnamon flavor is available year-round, its sales more than double from fall through holiday time; as it pairs beautifully with apples, pies, cider and cookies.

Velvet is also releasing Peppermint Stick ice cream for a limited time.  Peppermint Stick is made from peppermint ice cream, infused with red peppermint candies. Inspired by candy canes, the quintessential Christmas candy, Velvet’s peppermint ice cream is made of sweet and creamy ice cream, peppered with sharp and crisp taste of peppermint. This exclusive seasonal flavors will be available for a limited time in stores.

2016 marks 102 years of business for Velvet Ice Cream. Founded in 1914 by Joseph Dager, four generations of Dagers have since run the company, which is located in Utica, Ohio on 25 acres of the perfect combination of wooded countryside and rolling, pastoral farmland. Still family-owned and operated, Velvet produces and distributes more than five million gallons of ice cream every year from its headquarters on the grounds of Ye Olde Mill. Ye Olde Mill also houses an ice cream and milling museum, a restaurant, playground, picnic area and catch-and-release fish pond. 

Named by Frommer's as one of America’s 10 Best Ice Cream Factory Tours, Velvet's Ye Olde Mill welcomes 150,000 visitors each year for tours, tastings and events. The annual Ice Cream Festival (May 27-29, 2017), group tour experiences and school learning field trips are among the many draws to Ye Olde Mill, which is open to the public April 18-October 31.  Complete information about Velvet Ice Cream and Ye Olde Mill is available www.VelvetIceCream.com.
