COLUMBUS, Ohio -- You haven't tasted ice cream until you've tasted Jeni's. Located at the historic North Market in Ohio's biggest city, Jeni's Ice Cream is boutique frozen confection at its best, hand-crafted in small batches with exotic sounding ingredients like Madagascar vanilla bean, Vietnamese cinnamon, and varietal chocolates from Venezuela and around Africa. Owner Jeni Britton supports local farmers as well, insisting on fresh Ohio dairy, and Ashland County honey and fruits from the Ohio countryside. Jeni's flavor list reads like a field guide: strawberry rose petal, lavender and wild berries, Thai chile, and Maker's Mark buttered pecan for starters. Salty caramel is a personal favorite, a heavenly mix of sweet and savory that tastes like a county fair, but better. No plans to go to Columbus? You can get six flavors sent to your door for $65 plus shipping.
