What a job we have. When we asked Tony Yurgaitis, co-founder of Arethusa Farm & Dairy (in Bantam, and now in New Haven, CT!) to come on the show to help us celebrate ice cream, we had no idea we’d get to launch Arethusa’s latest, greatest flavor. If you’re nuts about rich, creamy, high-quality ice cream, Arethusa’s pistachio is for you.
Tony credits Head Plant Manager Chris Casiello as the talent behind the ice cream. Arethusa handcrafts its pistachio ice cream from a homemade pistachio paste and milk from (very pampered) cows on their meticulously maintained farm in Bantam, CT. It was the earthiest pistachio flavor we’ve ever tasted in an ice cream. Faith even asked Tony if the batch was made especially for the show. It wasn’t. So, you’ll have the same “I must be special” feeling we had when you have your first taste of it, too.
Tony and Chris were working on a batch of peach ice cream just before they came to the show. We’ll try it and report back, but if pistachio is any indication, we know how this will go.
