Rumba Desserts: Exotic Fruit Flavors of Peru
With the recent hot weather hitting the Bay Area, it’s almost instinctively that you crave something to relieve you from the heat. What better way to get your mind off the sun than a scoop of ice cream? Ice cream has always been my go to form of relief to cool off when temperatures begin to soar. But, even with summer winding down to the end of the season, you still can enjoy ice cream all year round.
Recently, I was fortunate to try a few samples of a few flavors of ice cream and sorbet from Rumba Desserts. This California based company focuses on capturing the flavors of Peru by using exotic Peruvian fruits, making their product unique and intriguing at the same time. How about a Purple Corn sorbet for being special? Rumba’s Citron Morado Sorbet is just one of their unique flavors that combines an Organic Peruvian Purple Corn infusion with Lisbon Lemon and Tahitian Lime Juice. It’s an uncommon flavor combination, yet it’s refreshingly exciting to your taste buds.
What really impressed me with Rumba’s products was how much flavor bursts through. Since Rumba Desserts uses all natural ingredients, you can expect their ice cream and sorbets to taste just like real fruit. The instant I tried the Mango Sorbet, I felt as if I was eating a real mango. It was far from tasting all artificial and sugar loaded. The taste of mango was there and you knew it.
A Scoop of Lucuma Ice Cream
The real highlight for me was sampling the Lucuma Ice Cream. Lucuma is a Peruvian fruit that has the characteristics of having a maple-caramel like taste. In ice cream form, this flavor was just pure bliss. It was amazingly silky, and the flavors truly reminded me of a caramel ice cream, only this time, the flavor was coming from the Lucuma fruit. It’s on my list of recommended flavors to try.
