History, tradition and origin
Flavoured ices were served in ancient Persia and China, and frozen cream desserts reached European courts in the 1600s. Ice cream became food for everyone once ice houses and then mechanical freezing arrived in the 1800s. Italian gelato is denser and served slightly warmer. Vanilla comes from an orchid native to Mexico and is still pollinated by hand.
Food economy and industry
Ice cream is a global industry worth tens of billions of dollars, with sales tied closely to summer weather. Natural vanilla is one of the most expensive spices because of hand pollination and curing; most of it comes from Madagascar. Small makers compete on fresh ingredients and unusual flavours.
