Hemp ice cream in Vorarlberg: Creamy ice cream delight with organic hemp protein
Recently, we presented you with a simple recipe for homemade hemp ice cream here on the blog. But even if you don't have the time or desire to make delicious hemp ice cream yourself, you can still be happy, because delicious ice cream creations with extra hemp power are now also available at the Silvretta ice cream parlor in Götzis, at Zita Gelato in Lochau, and in all branches of the Dolce Vita ice cream manufactory from Hohenems.It is creamy, it is cold, it is delicious – at first lick, hemp ice cream is not significantly different from classic ice cream. But the new hit in the ice cream parlors of Silvretta Eisdiele in Götzis, at Zita Gelato in Lochau, and the Dolce Vita ice cream manufacturer in Vorarlberg and Switzerland has even more to offer: Because in addition to a lot of flavor, it also contains all the good stuff from HANAFSAN organic hemp protein, which forms the basis for this creamy, nutty ice cream delight.
Organic hemp protein as the basis for nutty ice cream enjoyment
The organic hemp protein derived from organic hemp seeds contains all essential amino acids and a lot of fiber. Thus, the organic hemp protein is already an excellent source of energy in itself. However, from the fine protein powder in the flavors chocolate, vanilla, or coconut, a wonderful ice cream can also be created – as the (of course strictly secret) recipes from our three partner ice cream parlors prove. We inquired a bit about how the hemp ice cream has been received so far.

Silvretta Eisdiele in Götzis: Hemp ice cream chocolate & more
“So far, the hemp ice cream has been very well received,” says Sonja Schawalder from the Silvretta ice cream parlor in Götzis. “Especially our younger guests are thrilled!” Sonja has already tried all three varieties. “I personally like chocolate the best,” reveals the passionate ice cream chef. She gives her hemp ice cream a very special touch by refining her recipe with a splash of HANAFSAN organic hemp oil. “I like the nutty flavor,” she says. And the extra portion of vitamin E as well as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is certainly not wrong in a treat like delicious ice cream.


Zita Gelato in Lochau: Coconut meets hemp
At the Zita ice cream parlor on the lakeside promenade in Lochau, cups or cones of creamy hemp ice cream in the flavor coconut are particularly popular these days. For managing director Katharina Brenner, hemp as an ice cream ingredient is uncharted territory, but she is always open to new things. “I like hemp because it is a very sustainable product,” she says. “And that the hemp protein from HANAFSAN is organic certified fits very well with us. Many of our ingredients are already organic.” It is also very important to Katharina that no flavors are used. “For our ice cream, we only process pure raw materials like the finest Swiss chocolate or whole fruits.”


Hemp ice cream chocolate at the Dolce Vita ice cream manufacturer
Also in the three Vorarlberg branches of the Dolce Vita ice cream manufacturer by Andrew Nussbaumer, hemp ice cream has made a very good start. Here, the chocolate variety can be found in the ice cream display. “We are always on the lookout for new things – which is not so easy with over 60 different ice cream flavors,” Mr. Nussbaumer is pleased with the ice cream idea from HANAFSAN. The Dolce Vita guests in Vorarlberg have been thrilled so far. The ice cream has now also made its way to Switzerland.
From Götzis to Chur, it’s time to enjoy hemp ice cream, because: “If it continues to be so well received, we will have hemp ice cream in our assortment again next year,” agree Sonja Schawalder, Katharina Brenner, and Andrew Nussbaumer. Well, with these prospects, enjoying delicious hemp ice cream this summer is twice as nice!
