Johann Strauss Provides the Motto for "Ice Cream of the Year" 2025
The event took place at the well-filled ice cream parlor at Schwedenplatz, which offered flavors like "The Bat" and "Voices of Spring." However, for manager Silvio Molin-Pradel, "The Gypsy Baron" was the favorite: "I really like raspberry, the pepper gives it a special touch, and it is very fresh." The ice cream also crowned itself as the clear winner in the VIENNA.at test, impressing with crispy pink pepper.
European "Ice Cream of the Year" Announced
In sunny and cool weather outside, not everything inside revolved around the "Waltz King." Thus, alongside the Strauss flavors, the European "Ice Cream of the Year" also found its place in the display case. "From a church perspective, 2025 is also a so-called Holy Year or Jubilee Year. Appropriately, the European ice cream flavor of the year bears the symbolic name 'Hallelujah'," it was stated in a press release. This "consists of Gianduja ice cream with roasted hazelnuts and chocolate."
Strauss Bust Still Needs Green Light
Would Johann Strauss have liked it? He was present at the opening of the ice cream season in the form of a bust, with the offer to keep it in the ice cream parlor. Whether this will actually happen is still unclear. "If my wife has nothing against it, then yes," laughed Molin-Pradel. "Because she has the final say."
