Roselani Ice Cream’s Cathy Nobriga Kim joined Tracy & Jim Reddekopp of the Hawaiian Vanilla Bean to introduce their Hawaiian Vanilla Bean ice cream to the trade at the American Culinary Federation – Kona Chapter “Sunset Tea” fundraiser last weekend at the Hilton Waikoloa Resort.
Fans of Made In Hawaii products should make a beeline for Times supermarkets this week to try the latest delicious made -in- the-islands product.
Third-generation Maui ice cream maker Cathy Nobriga Kim of Roselani Ice Cream and Hawaiian Vanilla Company’s Jim Reddekopp have joined together to bring a new rich, creamy, vanilla bean ice cream to supermarkets and restaurants.
“Roselani has always looked to local vendors and producers for ingredients,” says Nobriga Kim. “The Reddekopps’ locally-grown, high-quality vanilla provided the perfect opportunity for a delicious new product.”
Roselani’s new Hawaiian vanilla Bean Ice Cream uses grown in Hawaii vanilla beans, which some say are the best in the world. Until now, only a select few of Hawaii’s top restaurants, like Chef Mavro, have been using the bean in desserts.
