Cuba - Ice Cream Factory
Cuba is known for it's ice cream. Ice cream is simply a
part of Cuban culture. It is no wonder that it is so in this hot
country. Something sweet and cold on a steamy hot day!
There is nothing so sweet as Socialist ice cream.
We had the opportunity to tour a large ice cream and yogurt factory in
Bayamo during our stay in Granma province. The factory operates
with machinery that was new in the 1950s. Since that time, the
U.S. blockade of Cuba has prevented the import of new machinery that
would modernize the factory. In spite of this, the workers
continue to produce tons of the tastey cold stuff to the delight of the
citizens.
An interesting study by Marks
& Spence "Ice Cream Index" shows Cuba to be the most affordable
vacation destination.
