Velvet Ice Cream Butter Pecan Review

Today, April 14, is National Pecan Day. Nick is a Butter Pecan addict, but I never paid much attention to it... ummm, ever. Well, the status quo just might change because Velvet Ice Cream decided to include a container of it with their shipment of free samples. Buckeye blitz was epic, so let's see how this stands up.

Velvet Ice Cream Butter Pecan & Cashew is butter pecan ice cream blended with butter-roasted pecans and cashews. It's been almost four years since I've had a butter pecan flavor so wish me luck!

Velvet Ice Cream - Buckeye Classic Welcome to the Blog!

The only thing better than bringing a new product to the blog is bringing a whole company to the blog. That's right, the fine folks at Velvet Ice Cream sent me a press release the other day and I couldn't help but ask if they would consider sending over some free samples. You see, Velvet, like Graeter's and Homemade Brand, is based in Ohio. Yes, Ohioans have it very good in their state. Actually, let me stop for a second and wish Velvet an early birthday as next year will be their 100th! Talk about Tradition! Better yet, talk about a long time to hone their skills. I'm expecting very good things here.

Now I was sent three containers of Velvet ice cream, but only Buckeye Classic is labeled with "Ohio's Favorite". I thought they meant the flavor, not the brand, but this is their #1 seller. I almost forgot to mention that the point of the press release was to announce the 2013 Velvet rebranding that you see above (Crazy Food Dude has a shot of the old branding here). No offense to the old branding, but yeah, thumbs up to their new modern-yet-classic graphics.
