Flavor #2 – Oregon Strawberry

Welcome back!

Next up is . . . Oregon Strawberry!

My relationship with strawberry ice cream is similar to that of mine with the gym – appreciative, yet practically nonexistent.

Is the gym a good concept? Of course it is. However, I’m almost never in the mood for it, and the same goes for strawberry ice cream.

When I got this ice cream, I didn’t anticipate on being a huge fan. Strawberry ice cream in general is exceptionally tasty, but I wasn’t really interested in eating it myself and I just assumed that my family could finish it off themselves after I got my own little share.

First of all, the color of it isn’t super bright. When I think of strawberry ice cream, I typically picture the bright pink color, but this one was very pale in comparison to others. It was a little weird to me at first. Yet when I took the first bite, I was absolutely HOOKED.

It’s hard to describe exactly what I felt when eating it, but it was beautiful.

The ice cream contained little strawberry pieces in it, like most strawberry ice creams, but this one just “hit different” than any others.

Usually, the fruit just sort of seems to be placed into it. You have the ice cream, and you have the strawberries. They’re both good, and we leave it at that. Tillamook somehow did something different. I don’t know what they did with the strawberries, but they almost morphed into the cream perfectly.

When I bit into my first strawberry, I was taken aback. I really had to take a second and reflect on it before taking another bite. It had the perfect “slush-like” feeling to it, and it left me wondering where this ice cream had been all my life.

Remember when I said I didn’t really eat much strawberry ice cream before? That has completely changed, and I bought a new carton as soon as I finished off the other one.

The blend of textures in this one is impressive – just indescribable. It’s really something you’d just have to try for yourself in order to fully grasp what I’m saying. Take a look here and see if you can find it near you!

That’s all for now! Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you next time!
