Anyone know where you can still buy Etna Ice Cream. In the six weeks here I have cleaned out both Carrefour stores.
Someone told me Etna may have gone out of business. Any info on that ?
Thanks

I know Etna was for sale but I hadn't heard that it closed.
Have you tried the Carrefour in Jordan Village?
In Simpson Bay a little store on the right side across from the casino (left side) when you first enter from airport had it last year.

Did you know? The lady who developed Etna ice Cream, Betty Larsen, was an 8th grade Social Studies teacher in Mountain Lakes, NJ in the1970's.

Rosemary--while I don't know, my guess is that Neil met her in person.

Just checked Peli Deli for Etna and none there either. Scuba it's been a while since I was in Peli and Shipwreck, when did the renovation happen there it looks really nice now.

We found Etna ice cream last fall in Super U, Hope Estate. They also carry another locally made ice cream; Willy ice cream- saw the factory/warehouse also in Hope Estate over by One Love store area. We love the popcorn flavor, believe it or not!

I can't even conceive what popcorn flavored ice cream tastes like. Is it vanilla with popcorn in it?

Willy makes other flavors, too. A very good ice cream.

Glad to hear Pony, that Willy makes other flavors because popcorn doesn't sound appetizing to me and I like most flavors. My favorite is Rhum Raisin from Etna.

I’ll definitely have to look for the popcorn flavored ice cream on our trip in May! Thanks for the information.

Yep. Rum Raisin my favorite. A little hint of chocolate syrup on top is yummy.
