I much prefer them to Tillamook. I haven’t had Haagen Dazs in forever so can’t comment on the taste, but I just looked up Haagen Dazs ice cream and it is a total fat/sugar bomb. WAY more fat and sugar than most other ice creams. The Breyers natural vanilla I get has 170 calories and 14 grams added sugar. The Haagen Dazs (vanilla bean) has 350 calories and 22grams added sugar. Same serving size.


Yes, high fat is high quality dairy, denser ice cream, with a silky smooth mouthfeel. The cheaper ice creams are using lower fat dairy and whipping air into the ice cream.


Yeah, you’d really need to weigh it to compare. Some of the ones with fewer calories are just half air. Based on this article, it looks like brewers has about 3x as much air whipped in as Hagan Das. I used to love brewers back in the 80s and 90s but at some point they seemed to change their processes.

No.

I actually threw out the Tillamook the first time I bought it. It just wasn't the hype I'd been hearing.

I've since bought it again and it is ok. I would love to find something better than Haagen Daz$$, but the other ice creams are gums and corn syrup.


You seem dramatic

We went to their factory in Oregon! It was a fun visit. A huge scoop of ice cream was only $5 at the in house cafe and it was really good.

Bought the dark cherry variety because of this thread and this stuff is dangerous. Delicious and dangerous.

Strawberry for some reason has like 5 different 'gums':

"cream, skim milk, sugar, milk, strawberries, water, pasteurized egg yolks natural flavor, cornstarch, citric acid, red beet concentrate (color), pectin, tara gum, guar gum xanthan gum, locust bean gum, gellan gum, calcium chloride."

Neapolitan has peanut oil. Cookies & Cream has palm oil, palm kernal oil, soy lecithin. Cookie Dough has coconut oil, soybean oil. Rocky Road has corn syrup and safflower oil.


So? It makes no sense to look at this for ice cream.


Junk is junk. That crap is not in Haagen Daz or the locally made high-end ice cream we buy.

I’m originally from the PNW so was always biased toward loving Tillamook. We don’t buy their products anymore after all the greenwashing they do and info about their factory farming practices came to light.
