Forest Fruits

Forest Fruits
We won't leave you cold. In our flavors all work-related as well as personal stress, worries and sadness will melt since we are watched over by our ice cream guarding Angel(ato). Sometimes he is raspberry-flavored, sometimes coconut-flavored, he can be chocolate- or pistachio-flavored. What flavor will your Angel(ato) have today?







At Osa Mountain Resort they are concerned with food production. And with the potential of approximately 175 families possibly living there in the future they should be. This sustainable resort community has it’s sights set on producing at least 80 percent of the communities food on the 770 acre property that over looks the pacific ocean from its 2,000 foot elevation vantage point. With a lofty goal like that they are taking food production very seriously and have planted close to 3,000 fruit trees in the past few years.

The Pitanga fruit is a shrub that can grow up to 25 feet high
They already have a massive pineapple patch and are harvesting some of the tastiest organic pineapples you’ll ever taste having been ripened on the plant. Also being harvested regularly are bananas, plantains and a variety of other fruits.
