"The best time for ice cream is always!"

Ice cream is always a sweet pleasure and good choice. Especially these days when there is no flavour you can imagine that doesn`t exist, even the stranger ones like garlic or pizza ice cream. Also the origins of ice cream are very intresting and romantic in many ways. I will share with you the most intresting story and some fun facts.Aslo I want to introduce you with new Ice Cream shop in Belgrade with lovely and colorful interior design and great ice cream flavours.

 First ice creams appeared in ancient Persia ( some 2500 years ago), and in those early times they were all based on the sweetened water that was iced, grinded into little pieces and then decorated with various tasting toppings and fruits. This tradition of ice cream production slowly reached Greek and Roman empires, where ice creams were welcomed and adored  by Roman nobility and royalty who had necessary money to fund very expensive process of production. Sadly, after the fall of the Roman Empire, organized ice transport from mountains to the cities below stopped, and ice cream continued to be even more expensive product. Little changed in the 1000 years following the fall of Rome, and only after the Europe started exiting Dark Ages did ice cream managed to resurface in Renaissance Italy.

During 13th and 14th century, Italy was center of the trade with the Middle East and Asia, and their contact with new and innovative recipes of ice cream enabled this summertime treat to slowly spread across entire Europe. This expansion of ice cream was not an easy one, and it happened only after Italian noblewoman Catherine de'Medici went to France to marry Duke de Orleans future king of France in 1533. There she introduced nobility of continental Europe with the wonders of the east – eating utensils, high heeled shoes and off course, ice cream. With nobility fueling its production, innovators, technicians and cooks all put their best efforts into developing the rise of ice cream popularity and availability across the world. North American street vendors started selling ice cream only few decades after France and England, and industrial revolution slowly but surely started working on elevating problems of continuous refrigeration.  

The most popular flavor of ice cream is vanilla. After it come chocolates, strawberry, cookies n' cream, and others.  Chocolate ice cream was invented before vanilla! The first written ice cream recipe was found in a 1665 recipe book. 

First ice cream cone was created during 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. The tallest ice cream cone was over 9 feet tall in Italy.Chocolate syrup is the most popular ice cream topping!
