Summary

Van Leeuwen Sicilian Pistachio French Ice Cream scores 78/100. Only six ingredients — cream, milk, cane sugar, egg yolks, Sicilian pistachios, and sea salt. Remarkably clean for a commercial ice cream — no gums, no emulsifiers, no stabilizers, no tapioca syrup, no natural flavors, no coconut oil. Just dairy, sugar, eggs, real Sicilian pistachios, and salt. The only downside is refined cane sugar instead of an unprocessed sweetener. 15g added sugars per serving (30% DV). The cleanest of the Van Leeuwen lineup.
