Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra Core Ice Cream 465 ml

Product Information

We just launched a product, “Save Our Swirled,” which is in support of a binding climate agreement in Paris, where the U.N. [held talks]. We launched that with Tesla out on the West Coast. And then, we launched a European version in Bonn … inside the climate negotiations at the U.N. So we had the opportunity to feed all those people who are trying to work this out for us. It’s very hard to be angry and eat ice cream at the same time. It’s very tempting to stop and sign a petition, if there’s free ice cream.” Solheim: There are many issues where we’ve had to say we can’t go there, not necessarily because they’re too hot or too controversial, more because we don’t judge that we have a real ability to make an impact, or that we are prepared. You know, we believe you’ve got to walk the walk — not just talk. So we want to align our internal programs with the external campaigning. Solheim: Correct. We show what ice cream looks like if it’s just two degrees warmer. It’s a bit of a mess. When people hear the name “Ben and Jerry’s,” they think of three things: First, the high-quality ice cream, heavy on the mix-ins and the butterfat; second, the pun-riddled names of flavors such as Cherry Garcia, Karamel Sutra or Americone Dream; and third, the company’s longstanding social, environmental and corporate justice missions.

It’s got to be transparent and open. It goes the same for all other industries. So again, I think it’s hard to say, “Oh, I’m in this business and this product, hence, I can’t have a social impact strategy.” Klein: You’ve had individual employees involved in these campaigns. But Ben & Jerry’s as a company, is it active as a major donor, or leading campaigns? Solheim: Yeah, they are involved, but they do more of their own things. They have the best jobs in the world. Their job is to be Ben and to be Jerry, and they basically just have to deliver on that. Day-to-day operations are really in the hands of the management team and the board of directors. In 1984, Ben & Jerry’s co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield debuted Karamel Sutra, a caramel and chocolate ice cream flavor. The flavor was an instant hit with fans and has remained a popular choice ever since. Today, Karamel Sutra is still one of Ben & Jerry’s most iconic flavors. Ben and Jerry’s Karamel Sutra was discontinued in 2015. The flavor was a combination of caramel and chocolate ice cream, with a caramel swirl and chocolate chips.Coconut Almond Fudge Chip meets New York Super Fudge Chunk - A Swirling Safari of Chocolate Ice Cream & Coconut Ice Cream mixed with White & Dark Chocolatey Chunks, Pecans & Roasted Almonds

But when co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield agreed to sell the business in 2000 to Unilever, a multinational food giant, plenty of people expected that those missions wouldn’t survive. To a remarkable degree, they were mistaken. Solheim: There is. There is because people want to make a difference with … actions and activities that they can do. What you buy and how you buy it is a big part of your everyday life, and increasingly, consumers are saying, “I don’t want to waste my money on products that don’t try to make a difference.”

A chocolate chip cookie dough core with fudge chips is served in place of the ice cream. It’s the first time Ben & Jerry’s has used cookie milk in their ice cream; the core contains only a mass of cookie dough. Is Ben And Jerry’s Phish Food Gluten-free?

It comes from our human values; it comes from the values we have in our company. But we also see those communities thriving and doing better and being better for our business. Climate justice is about climate change, but it’s also about the fact that poor people, disadvantaged people, get hurt first. The wealthy can move, they can shift around; the poor cannot. That has an equity component in it. But as we’re moving into the next phase, for us, we have to recognize that we’re a terribly white company. You know, we come from Vermont, and Vermont is 96% white. Solheim: The amazing thing is that selling ice cream and running campaigns [use] the same set of skills. You want to get people’s attention, you need social media, you need events. And one great thing that we have, of course, is ice cream. It’s very hard to be angry and eat ice cream at the same time. It’s very tempting to stop and sign a petition, if there’s free ice cream. So ice cream plays a really important role in how we connect with our fans.

A lot of companies would say they’re consumer-led, whether that’s in product development or in a mission. Similarly, when companies come to the world of corporate social responsibility, they ask themselves, ‘What do people really care about? And how can we be a part of that?’ At Ben & Jerry’s, we come at it the other way. We actually ask ourselves, ‘What do we truly believe in — us?’ And then we execute well, because we truly believe in it, and hence, convince others to join us. So that’s what we mean by that: It starts with our values, and then we apply and join in movements with other partners to make change.

We love half baked Ben and Jerry’s. HalfBaked’s Ben and Jerry’s flavor has topped the sales chart for two years in a row, 2020 and 2021, which is relatively true.

Ben and Jerry’s Karmel Sutra ice cream is one of the most popular flavors from the company. It is a mixture of chocolate and caramel ice creams with a fudge swirl. It is rich and creamy, and the flavors are well balanced. The ice cream is also very smooth and has a good mouthfeel. Overall, this is a delicious ice cream and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys caramel and chocolate together.
