Christmas ice creams
For a traditional treat make sure you try Christmas Cake, Christmas Pudding and
Santa’s Grotto, which are sure to excite your festive taste buds. For Cardiff’s chocolate lovers there is a Ferrero Rocher flavour, while for a more daring experience customers can try
Orange and Whisky, Cranberry and Orange, G&T Sorbet and Rum Baba.
The farm
Martin and Rhian Rees live on their farm in the beautiful valley of Michaelston-le-Pit. The husband and wife team have been on the site for over 15 years and were excited when in 2007 they purchased some more land in order to keep a herd of cows.
The herd arrived in 2012 and ice cream production began in April 2013. The milk from the cows was turned into the company’s delicious ice cream at Penllyn Estate, before being sold at Fablas Gelateria,
Cowbridge Road East.
Rhian said, “Running the farm is fantastic and I always love watching people enjoy eating our products. Overall, we have 14 different flavours of ice cream and we have 34 cows that we milk.”
Events
Fablas Ice Cream will have a trailer at the Cowbridge Reindeer Parade on 30 November and they will have a stall in the Royal Welsh Winter Fair food hall from the 1 – 2 of December.
The ambitious pair are also meeting with the National Farmers’ Union (NFU), Farmers Weekly magazine and local newspapers, to help promote their business on 4 December. The special guests will sample mulled wine, explore the farm and watch the cows being milked.
An inventive ice cream company is embracing the loss of summer’s sunshine to dazzle Cardiff customers with a new range of chilly Christmas treats.
Fablas Ice Cream, Penllyn Estate, has created a variety of scrumptious seasonal flavours, with names including Christmas Cake, Christmas Pudding and Santa’s Grotto.
The adventurous owners have dismissed winter as a snow-go area and are taking their new products to some of the country’s finest agricultural events, including the the Royal Welsh Winter Fair and the Cowbridge Reindeer Parade.
Founder Rhian Rees said, “We would love people to come along and taste our unique, artisan ice creams.
“December means we work hard on advertising but people love the Fablas branding. Our name sounds like the Valley pronunciation of ‘fabulous’, making Welsh speakers smile wherever we go.”
At this year’s Cowbridge Reindeer Parade there will be a farmers’ market, which is where Fablas Ice Cream will display their products. Take a look at the exciting food stalls that have previously visited Cowbridge during the winter of 2012.
The Royal Welsh Winter Fair is an important event on the country’s calendar.
