San Sebastián details

Carlos Arribas ice cream is not an ordinary dessert but a culinary artwork. The obsession of Basques with gastronomy affected even the creation of ice cream. Carlos has been creating ice cream from natural products with unique flavors for nearly 30 years. In his shop, one won’t find a usual display with all sorts of colorful ice cream. This shop uses the technology of closed containers, so that the contents won’t dry out or oxidize. This method of storage came from Italy, reviving the traditions of last century ice cream. It is not necessary to see the contents of the container for the selection of taste. A visual menu on the wall of the store and a sommelier-seller will help you choose your favorite sort of ice cream or the one that you wanted to try for a long time but did not dare. Here you will find ice cream with taste of the traditional Basque rice with milk (arroz con leche) with pieces of rice and cinnamon powder as well as flavors like Oreo cookies, Kinder chocolate and condensed milk. A real highlight is the ice cream with the taste of cuajada dessert that is loved by all Basques and is made with sheep's milk directly from the farm in Navarra. Fruit sorbets here also have a fantastic taste and contain pieces of fruits from which they are made: from mango and passion fruit to raspberry and lemon - a total of 48 flavors of fun! To try them out, stop by at one of the two shops of Carlos Arribas in the old town of San Sebastián or the main shop in the charming coastal village of Zarautz.
