Vardo Vanilla Cone Ice Cream with Peanut & Caramel Topping

Peanuts undergo precision dry roasting to achieve a moisture content of under 1.5%. They are then pre-coated with a thin barrier of plant lipids before inclusion. This blocks water penetration from the ice cream emulsion, ensuring that the nuts retain their roasted crunch throughout frozen storage.

The caramel formulation utilizes a balanced carbohydrate profile (controlled ratio of sucrose, glucose, and inverted sugars) to lower its freezing point. As a result, the caramel remains soft, spreadable, and pleasantly chewy at -18°C rather than freezing solid or crystalizing into brittle glass.

Master cartons are designed to maximize cubic efficiency on standard 100x120 cm pallets, minimizing headspace inside 40ft High Cube Reefer containers. The robust fluting of the corrugated cartons prevents vertical crushing and protect delicate cone rims during prolonged intermodal transit.

Every production lot is subjected to rigorous microbial analysis per HACCP and national dairy regulations. Release criteria mandate negative results for Salmonella (in 25g), zero tolerance for E. coli, and strict limits on total viable count and Enterobacteriaceae before shipment clearance.

Due to summer demand surges in dairy confections, institutional buyers and distributors are advised to lock purchase orders 3 to 4 weeks in advance. Production planning accounts for peak capacity allocation, securing dedicated freezer buffers for contracted B2B partners.

All raw peanut batches undergo rigorous HPLC screening upon receipt to quantify Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2) and total mycotoxins. Sourcing protocols permit only batches conforming strictly to Codex Alimentarius safety thresholds before entry into processing rooms.

The caramel sauce is prepared with natural antioxidants and tight process controls over Maillard reactions. The multilayer barrier metallized sleeve completely shields the product from UV light and oxygen penetration, preventing fat degradation and preserving natural caramel color.
