Vegan ice cream has become popular in the United States in recent years, but regular vegan ice cream seems to have a stronger flavor such as almond milk and soy milk, which are used in place of milk. On the other hand, Eclipse Icecream reproduces the molecular structure close to the protein of milk by treating corn, potato, cassava, oats, canola oil, sugarcane, and water with a homogenizer , heat exchanger , pasteurizer, etc. That's it.

According to

the official page of Eclipse Foods , the taste is `` creamy than ice cream and cheese than cheese, milky than milk, `` sequel to dairy products '' rather than dairy substitutes '' It's advertised as creamy enough to chew cows. A reporter of CNN who actually tried Eclipse Icecream said, “It looks like it does not distinguish from ordinary ice cream, it seems to use milk until it melts and flavors,” says a science food media The Spoon reporter commented, 'The touch is just ice cream itself. It's smooth and creamy, and quite delicious overall.'

Eclipse Foods has its own philosophy of 'Building a humanitarian and sustainable food system that not only provides delicious food but is also responsible for the environment.' Two founders, Eiron Steinhart and Thomas Bowman, said, 'Eclipse Icecream does not contain any additives such as soy, wheat, gluten, coconut and allergies and stabilizers. 'I'm really proud,' he commented, 'I want to provide a product that makes people feel that they are really delicious and wants to eat again.'

Eclipse Icecream is sold by OddFellows in New York, USA and Humphry Slocombe in San Francisco. OddFellows offers different flavors of Eclipse Icecream: “Miso Cherry Flavor” and “Olive Oil Plum Flavor”, and Humphry Slocombe “Mexican Hot Chocolate Flavor”.
