DRTY Ice Cream is inspired by Filipino Sorbetes which is a popular street food in the Philippines. It is ice cream that is hand churned and served in colourful wooden push carts on the busy streets. Since the ice cream is made and served in the polluted streets, the locals called sorbetes "dirty ice cream" as a joke. The nickname caught on, and it is now remembered as a delicious treat in the Philippines. The name pays homage to our Philippine roots by crafting delicious ice cream with a modern twist on classic flavours.
