Tried one of this month’s Salt & Straw flavors and I’m honestly sad it’ll be gone after a week. To me, it’s one of the best ice creams I’ve ever had. I love creativity in flavors, but even aside from that, the melon part (the orange part) is so good on its own that I think anyone would enjoy it. When the prosciutto swirl (the white part) is in the right proportion, it makes this perfect sweet-savory combo.
My wife wasn’t a fan—she thought the prosciutto part felt a little too food-like (she went for the chocolate gooey brownie below the melon & prosciutto scoop). One time when I ordered a single split (pic is a double cone), I got a scoop that leaned too heavy on the prosciutto, which wasn’t as great. But I still loved it so much that I bought a pint and finished it pretty quickly.

Damn. Would love to be able to try this
I bought the Melon Prosciutto, the Chocolate Zucchini Bread, the Huckleberry Corn Bread Pudding, and the Pickled Cucumber. They’re all bangers, 11/10.
God I hate how often Salt & Straw uses meats
This is by far the craziest ice cream flavor I’ve ever seen. Just wow
Nooooo
I would have to try it.
Fuck yes let’s goooooo
They are great! As well as the tomato gelato which is my favorite of the season
I couldn’t trust my eyes when I read the title, but I would love to try it! unfortunately there is nothing like this in my area.
Is the Prosciutto taste very strong?
Never heard of this brand. Some really interesting flavors for their monthly menu series. Might have to place an order.
My wife and I have been having melon prosciutto salads a lot this summer and they’ve been amazing.
My first thought was congrats on the pregnancy! That sounds like a pregnant ladies dream ice cream shop.
I almost bought this flavor last week and now I’m regretting it. Went with the salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough, which was pretty good too
