Bartu The Organic Ice Cream Manufactory in Schwabing

For most people, the feeling of warm sunshine on the skin can only be beaten when the moment is crowned with ice cream. However, the feelings of happiness that arise also have a lot to do with memories. Of childhood, of summer holidays and balmy nights when you were finally allowed to stay up late.

Munich-born Thomas Bartu also has a soft spot for times gone by - and for ice cream. "It has to taste like it did in my childhood: freshly made from original products, unadulterated and natural in taste." The former shoe shop owner has fulfilled this wish with his eponymous organic ice cream manufactory in Schwabing.

More than 20 varieties are ready to be tasted in beautifully shaped stainless steel pots. Whether classic chocolate or the house speciality, caramel with salt butter: thanks to agave extracts, the cold delicacy still tastes pleasantly sweet but contains much less sugar and thus calories.

"Our ice cream is also whipped with a spatula before it goes into the cone or cup to make it more bite-sized and a little warmer," says Thomas Bartu.

Another notable feature in the exclusive Bartu manufactory: the organic ingredients with which the ice cream is exclusively made. All varieties are also offered in sealed metal pots for "to go" at home. So you can also enjoy the pure taste at home.
