Ice cream in big container

lyubov · Post by **lyubov** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 2:16 pm

Hello!
I want to buy a big ice-cream container, which you can see everywhere ice-cream is sold as "ice-cream balls".
Does anybody know where to buy these big containers? May be there are some special places or even factories?
thanks in advance!

you need a *big* supermarket for any selection... the "season" is mainly in the spring/summer but the bigger stores carry the vats in the frozen section year around...even the 3 litre ones... LIDL has some tubs but IIRC they're about 1 or 1,5 litre ones...

You can buy Pappagallo ice-cream direct from their factory in Suomenoja (Espoo) just off the Länsiväylä. They have factory sales weekdays from 8-15:30. There are 23 flavours of ice-cream in 5-litre containers and 15 flavours of sorbet also in 5-litre containers. They are not cheap because they are made on a small scale with good ingredients. But they are delicious! I suggest you call them before you go if you want a big order. I can't remember the retail price (I buy wholesale from them) but it is probably somewhere around 25 e per container, not sure.

They also sell the big containers in Heino if you have their card. http://www.heinontukku.fi but the choice is smaller.

If you want CHEAP (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry) ice-cream then just go to Heino and get the Valio stuff.

thought those 5 liters tub (the one they use in those ice cream stands) are available in most bigger supermarkets...i see them in K-supermarkets and citymarkets.
