[wholesale distribution discontinued : only available at their scoop shops]

[By Nick] Remember how I said I had a huge backlog to kill off? Well, welcome to Nick Week Part II! There's a wide range of stuff to cover so let's start with a flavor from Maple's Organics that has me quite interested.

Maple's Organics Raspberries & Cream Gelato

[By Nick] Let's take a look at the safest flavor of the bunch Maple's Organics sent me for free: Raspberries & Cream Gelato. It's no secret that I’m a lover of raspberries. Being described as having a sweet cream base with organic raspberry ribbons, how could this one not be enjoyable to me?

While I do like the clear containers, they really ruin the whole element of surprise. That said, I love all of the raspberry action I can see throughout the pint.

Maple's Organics Sea Salt Almond Caramel Gelato

[By Nick] One of the major downfalls of living in the middle of nowhere is that Dubba is able to brag about the vast amount of brands he has access to. So when one of those companies offers to send me samples, I can't refuse that offer. Case in point: Maple's Organics. While Dubba hasn't covered them much, they have quite the selection of flavors I've been interested in. They sent me 4 free pints to review so let's start things off with their Sea Salt Almond Caramel.

First off, I love how more and more companies are using reusable, clear packaging. Not only does it make the product look more appealing, it makes me feel better knowing that I'd be able to repurpose the container after I'm done.

Maple's Maine Maple Organic Gelato Review

[wholesale distribution discontinued : only available at their scoop shops]

hehehehe, did you read that title 2 or 3 times?  A little confusing, isn't it? Maple's is a small Maine "artisan dessert" shop that sells their goods to my local Whole Foods. What you see in the next picture is the 2012 redesign of their packaging.

As you can see, Maple's now comes in pint and quart size containers. The pint containers have gone with a more traditional pint shape while the new quart containers look like the old pint containers. They've even gone and upgraded to a fancy schmancy, color coded ribbon system with gold medallions for good measure. The thing is, I didn't buy one of these pints.

Yeah, a few months ago I actually bought this pint and another as they were on sale for like 2 for $7 or something (remember, they are usually $5.99 a piece). I've been trying to expand my little ice cream world and a maple flavor seemed like a simple way to do that.

Maple's Wild Maine Blueberry Organic Gelato Review

My apologies, I queued up four different reviews... and then blew my Saturday cleaning up the compact fluorescent light bulb I dropped in the living room... oh what a pain. Ok, here we go.

Oh I feel like such a heel, this review has literally been in my head for 3 months. Ohhh, at this point it's more of a mention than I review, but let's get it out there.

(I should have taken a side shot)
