Manu Jara’s venture was bound to expand, and many had been wondering for some time what he would do next. The French pastry chef based in Seville is following a strategy of expansion for his high-end pastry line in the Triana neighborhood, where he launched his sweet empire in 2013. This time, he’s adding the Manu Jara ‘Frío Fino’ ice cream shop to his brand, located at 83 Pureza Street.
You have to make the trip to this hugely popular Triana spot—just as one would have made the pilgrimage in Manu Jara’s early days for his irresistible mille-feuille—to try his ice cream at the foot of Santa Ana.
In the category of revolutionary spaces shaping Seville’s gastronomic scene, this venture into the world of cold treats must now be included.
The menu features ice creams, sorbets, slushies, and milkshakes that pair perfectly with fine pastries and the signature flavors of both the brand and Seville.
At ‘Frío Fino,’ Manu Jara applies his pastry-making craft with the same virtues as always: technique, quality ingredients, a sweet memory, and his own unique way of working with flavors.
The Manujaldre breaks the rules of the traditional ice cream cone
No one embodies their own creations quite like Manu Jara. Naturally, he breaks free from traditional constraints, and alongside the classic cones and tubs, the true sweet genius of ‘Frío Fino’ lies in the creation of the Manujaldre.
Paying homage to one of the house classics, they’ve created a crispy puff pastry shell to hold and pair with their artisanal ice creams. A textural and refreshing delight as summer approaches.
Torrija or palmera ice cream: 14 flavors with the soul of an artisan bakery at Frío Fino
Another major point of interest concerns the ice cream flavors already on display in the ‘Frío Fino’ cases. Up to 14 recipes are available , all 100% handmade.
Eight of the flavors will be permanent, and the other six will rotate depending on the season, availability, and the inspiration of the kitchen.
Among the initial flavors offered by Frío Fino are cream, caramel, and pine nuts; Ferrero; puff pastry and Baileys; amarena yogurt; 70% chocolate; citrus and lemon verbena; carrot cheesecake; nougat; vanilla; pistachio; and coconut.
As for the rest, there are flavors that promise to be addictive, such as the egg palm tree ice cream or the French toast, which are pure Manu Jara DNA. In the pastry chef’s own words:
The menu is rounded out, as we mentioned, with creamy milkshakes, sorbets, slushies, and coffees that you can enjoy to go or while leaning on the high tables right on the street.
A flavor that supports the Triana neighborhood
Thus, from time to time, a renowned pastry chef, brand, or personality from Seville will create a special flavor alongside Manu Jara, with proceeds going to charities and associations in the Triana neighborhood itself.
