OUR MISSION
We make scrumptious, natural, award winning ice cream, sorbets and frozen creations from scratch, using our expertise to deliver luxurious, inventive, flavourful delights across the UK.
We make our ice cream in small batches in a traditional British way, using organic milk, free range eggs, fresh fruit and carefully sourced ingredients. We continuously strive to reduce our environmental footprint by using local ingredients when possible, eco friendly materials and cleaning products and 100% compostable or recyclable packaging.
INGREDIENTS
We use organic milk, free range eggs, premium ingredients and fresh fruit whenever available, sourced locally when possible. Our fresh fruit flavours are churned seasonally, but when we need to use frozen fruit we source it from Herefordshire. All the fresh fruit is prepared, squeezed, peeled and juiced by hand in our kitchen.
All the jams, brittles, meringues and honeycomb used in the ice cream are made from scratch by our chefs.
SUSTAINABILITY
All our stickers, tapes, bags and inks are biodegradable. Our shipping boxes are compostable as well as the insulation within them, Woolcool, made from 100% pure wool. Our tubs can be recycled. All take away containers in our King's Cross parlour are compostable. If you choose to eat in, your ice cream will be served in (lovely) china cups. More than 90% of the cleaning products in our parlour and kitchen are ecofriendly.
For a more in depth break down of what we do in our kitchen, office and parlour please refer to this blog post.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
For 34 years I worked as a photographer. Ruby Violet was born out of a desire to create a high quality ice cream, using local produce and a wish to become more involved in our local community.
