Although summer has not yet started in Cuba, it officially begins in June and continues until September, at the moment it is already quite hot and to cool off there is nothing better than an exquisite ice cream.
But do you know how long ice cream has been produced on the island? Well, I tell you that according to the records, since 1910, this delicious food was produced under the aegis of the Cuban Refrigeration Company, but it was not until 1930 that this industry was developed in the country. Since then, many ice cream brands have been known, including Hatuey, El Gallito, Guarina, until 1966, specifically on June 4, the Coppelia ice cream parlor in central Vedado, in front of the emblematic Habana Libre hotel, known also as The Ice Cream Cathedral which still continues to offer that popular dessert for approval of the people of Havana.
Today, other national and foreign brands are also marketed in the country, such as for example Nestle. However, there are ice creams of purely Cuban production that are “stealing” the taste of consumers for its high quality.
Without a doubt one is Gustó, made by Lácteos Clamanta. Emerged as Mipyme (Micro, small and medium enterprise) a little over a year ago –previously it was TCP- Lácteos Clamanta is invading the market with its exquisite ice creams that total around 20 flavors, although it also produces and markets 5 prebiotic yogurt flavors. Strawberry, chocolate, almond, various flavors and fruits are included in the offer. Ice creams that you can purchase in the network of stores Caribe, Caracol, the Palco group and the company Palmares, extra-hotel area of the capital.
I invite you to try Gustó and I can assure you that when you taste Gustó you will affirm that Gustó, came and triumphed.
