Coconut Plam Sugar 

We sourced 100% pure coconut palm sugar from Baan Tao Thai Derm, a community enterprise in Bang Khon-Thidistrict, Samut Songkhram province. This region is renowned for producing some of the finest coconut palm sugar, and the community continues to use traditional methods.

KhunKanit, the community enterprise chairman, is passionate about proving that 100% pure coconut palm sugar still exists. Due to the abundance of adulterated products in the market, he wants consumers to experience the genuine, unadulterated sweetness. The traditional method of producing 100% pure coconut palm sugar is more time-consuming,labor-intensive, and yields a smaller quantity. Despite these challenges, KhunKanitremains committed to honesty and integrity in his work.

Inspired by childhood memories of our mother making sweets with freshly cooked coconut palm sugar, we created our coconut salted caramel ice cream. The rich flavor of coconut palm sugar pairs perfectly with fresh coconut milk, creating a unique and unforgettable taste.

The traditional process of making coconut palm sugar is more environmentally friendly and results in a higher quality product. We're proud to use this exceptional ingredient in our coconut salted caramel ice cream, supporting local farmers and promoting sustainable agriculture.

Taro 

Taro has long been a staple in Thai cuisine and is cultivated by farmers across the country. It's a symbol of our agricultural abundance. We chose taro as one of our initial flavors for its natural pairing with coconut milk and its beloved status among Thais.

We selected Ban-Mo taro from Saraburi Province, a region renowned for its GI-certified taro. The unique soil conditions in Ban Mo produce taro with a loose, crumbly texture and a distinctive aroma. This high-quality taro is the perfect complement to our coconut milk, creating a truly authentic Thai flavor.
