Olympia ice cream
Dreaming of summertime? A friendly reminder from the collection that warmer weather is on the way, with one of our favourite summer treats: Olympia Ice Cream.
The Olympia Ice Cream Parlour was opened in Summerside by Henry Gaudet in 1911. Although the packaging has changed since then, you can still buy Olympia ice cream today. The Olympia Ice Cream Company was bought by Amalgamated Dairy Limited (ADL) in 1958. ADL still distributes the product today and you can find it on store shelves in six flavours, including grapenut, chocolate, and neapolitan.
Support Salty
Like many small businesses, we had to adapt to 2020’s challenges, one of which was a loss of ad revenue. We ceased printing our monthly digest, but there are many more stories to tell. With the digital version of Salty, we continue to share Island food stories, and you can be a part of it. No amount is too small (or large!), and we thank you for being a part of our Salty family. Our readers’ support will allow us to bring new original Prince Edward Island food stories in the future.
