Welsh ice-cream firm creates lavender variety
A Welsh ice-cream manufacturer is believed to be the first in the country to add lavender to one of its products.
Carmarthenshire-based Heavenly has developed a lavender ice-cream which enjoyed so much success during trials that they have now enlisted the help of gardeners at a local mansion to help out.
Staff at Aberglasney Mansion have planted a lavender bed to supply the shop with enough flower heads to make the necessary syrup.
Graham Rankin, Aberglasney director, told the Western Mail: "I think it is wonderful to be able to support local businesses and to have an ice-cream branded with Aberglasney's name is quite novel."
Mr Rankin revealed that there are also plans for the estate's oranges to be used to make an orange, cranberry and nutmeg ice-cream for Christmas.
Heavenly has become well-known in the area for its innovative approach, with some of its more unusual ingredients including leek, welsh beer, bara brith and lobster & fries.
The shop's owner, Tracey Kindred, told the Western Mail: "If it's edible, we can make it."
