Don’t let the time change and the drop in temperatures fool you; Seville is an ice cream city, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re enjoying one in July or October. With that in mind, we’re celebrating that the Frío Fino ice cream shop, which opened just a few months ago at 83 Pureza Street, has just unveiled its first charity ice cream.
Fine gelato with a social mission: Manu Jara and Ricard Martínez create the recipe
It is a raspberry and lychee sorbet created by Manu Jara in collaboration with pastry chef Ricard Martínez of Ricmaiz Estudio. All proceeds from its sale will go to the charitable work of the Hermandad de la Esperanza de Triana. In the words of Manu Jara:
“It’s a way to give back, even if only a small part, all the love that Triana has given us.”
The initiative isn’t a last-minute addition: ever since Frío Fino opened its doors, one of the fourteen flavors on the menu was intended to serve this charitable purpose.
The idea is that, on a regular basis, a guest professional from the world of gastronomy or pastry-making will collaborate with Jara to create a special flavor and select the beneficiary organization. For this first edition, the choice was clear: to start at home, in Triana.
Longtime friends who are internationally recognized in the industry, they were looking for an ice cream that was “fresh, clean, and very aromatic, and the combination of raspberry sorbet with lychees in an ice cream format gave us that balance, ” notes Martínez.
Prices and dates: How long will it be available on Pureza Street?
The flavor is now available starting at 3.50 euros and will remain on the menu until the end of November, when the ice cream shop closes for the season. At that time, fundraising will also conclude, and the donation will be presented to the Brotherhood.
The selection of the Hermandad de la Esperanza de Triana reflects its deep roots in the neighborhood and the social work it carries out throughout the year.
Manuel Fernández Armenta, the Brotherhood’s Charity Representative, attended the launch event and highlighted the value of this kind of community involvement: “When projects right here in the neighborhood want to get involved in this way, it helps us continue to address real needs.”
With this first edition, Frío Fino is laying the groundwork for a project designed to grow through new collaborations, new flavors, and new causes, while keeping Triana as its starting point.
