Cheese ice cream pairs tangy butter with creamy milk, creating a surprisingly harmonious flavor. Popular variations include Gruyère and Tomato Custard Tart, Pear and Blue Cheese, and Chèvre with Apricots. Filipino Keso flavor distinguishes itself with sweet cream and visible cheddar pieces. Historically, ice cream was an elite treat in the Philippines, evolving to street vendor offerings made with carabao milk. Cheddar cheese became prevalent post-World War II. Ramar Foods in California has popularized these flavors in the U.S. with products like Mais Queso and Queso Queso, reflecting a cheese-centric approach to ice cream flavors.
Ice cream was originally only available to the upper echelon of Filipino society. Money was shelled out for house staff to hand-churn ice shipped from overseas.
In the United States, Ramar Foods in California has been replicating these flavors since 1972, offering kernels of sweet corn tucked into cheese ice cream in its Mais Queso product.
