our partners
The foodie world is booming with small producers who are using traditional methods to hand craft unique specialty products. Here are a few of our favorites that we collaborate with to make our revolutionary flavors:
HUDSON VALLEY FRESH
All dairy is not created equal! Our milk and cream comes from Hudson Valley Fresh, a dairy cooperative in upstate New York that is 100% farmer owned. The dairy is of the highest quality - winning the National Dairy Quality Award and NYS Environmental Stewardship Award. All the dairy we use is also certified kosher. By eating our ice cream you not only get to enjoy delicious handcrafted goodness, but also help to support family dairy farmers.
KOMBUCHA BROOKLYN
Never heard of kombucha sorbet? That's because Steve's is the first to bring this delicious and healthy fermented tea beverage to the frozen dessert case. We've partnered with Kombucha Brooklyn, a local mom and pop team that is committed to producing kombucha using the same methods that have been used for over the last two thousand years: totally natural, hand-brewed in traditional ceramic crocks, artisan perfected
TAZA CHOCOLATE
Our chocolate and cacao inclusions at Steve's are from Taza Chocolate. Taza is a small bean-to-bar chocolate maker in Massachusetts and they are the only producer in the US of 100% stone ground, organic chocolate. Taza does everything themselves by hand - they roast, winnow, grind, temper, and mold their chocolate in house.
OVENLY
Ovenly is a Brooklyn-based creative kitchen that adventurously explores culinary traditions. Ovenly creates desserts and snacks that perfectly combine salty and sweet with a touch of spice.
SALVATORE BKLYN
The best of ricotta cheese. Salvatore BKLYN uses only the freshest ingredients to craft handmade, small batch ricotta. They insist on starting with local, whole milk from Hudson Valley Fresh to create fresh curds. The final product is bright like most ricottas, but their extended draining time results in a super-dense and creamy ricotta, making it the perfect pair for ice cream.
STEVEN SMITH TEA
We trust Steven Smith when it comes to tea. With his brand-new line of handmade blends, the Portland, Oregon-based tea maker creates the freshest, most traceable teas on the planet. Smith's teas are made and bagged on a per-order basis. All of his tea boxes are numbered so you can trace each leaf to where it was grown, when it was harvested and who packed the blend.
