Tillamook has a new limited-edition Salty Caramel Pretzel flavor featuring salted vanilla ice cream with dark chocolate-covered pretzel pieces and salted caramel.
Fans are already asking the brand to make this popular newcomer a permanent addition to its ice cream lineup.
When it comes to flavor makers, there's perhaps nothing more effective than salt. While it's an obvious choice for brightening up lackluster dishes, it also plays a signficant role in foods like Parmesan cheese, sauerkraut, dill pickles, and much, much more.
When paired with its opposite—sugar—something magical happens. Think about the flecks of sea salt atop a chocolate chip cookie. Without the salt, the cookie may taste overwhelmingly sweet, masking the other softer, subtler flavors. Sprinkled with salt, the cookie takes on a new shape: It's nuttier, almost caramel-like, with notes of toffee.
To put it plainly, everything tastes better with salt. Tillamook and its fans seem to agree, because the dairy co-op's latest flavor to hit freezers puts salt center stage, and fans are already calling it one of Tillamook's "best creations yet."
Tillamook's New Limited-Edition Salty Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream
You may have heard of salted caramel, but have you heard of salted vanilla? I hadn't either—until now. Tillamook's new limited-edition Salty Caramel Pretzel features salted vanilla ice cream with dark chocolate-covered pretzel pieces and salted caramel. It's rich, decadent, and, as you might've guessed, salty in the best way.
"My new favorite Tillamook ice cream," a Redditor declared on the ice cream subreddit. "I've always loved Tillamook, which is a dangerous opinion when you live in Blue Bell country... but this Tillamook flavor is THE BEST. If anyone at Tillamook is reading..... PLEASE!!! KEEP THIS ONE!!!"
According to another fan on the same thread, what makes this ice cream stand apart from others is that the pretzels remarkably retain their crunchiness. "Every Ben and Jerry's or Häagen-Dazs pint I’ve had with these chocolate-covered pretzels, they’re soggy even though they’re coated with chocolate," they wrote. "These Tillamook ones were crunchy!!! VERY crunchy! And I’m a texture girlie, so that really razzled my dazzle."
Other Redditors loved the new flavor so much, they reached out to Tillamook, urging it to make Salty Pretzel Caramel a permanent addition to its ice cream lineup: "Be sure to contact Tillamook and tell them you want this to become a permanent flavor. I wrote them yesterday. Hopefully they'll really consider it with enough emails."
Another person added, "I loved it so much I sent them an email. An absolute 10/10 with the salted vanilla."
What did I say? Salt enhances everything.
The new flavor is landing in stores now and will be a limited-time offer, though some people have shared frustration with not finding it yet. So, if you happen to come across it on your next grocery run, we suggest you don't miss the opportunity to scoop it up. As one Instagrammer described it, "This flavor needs to be made permanent. It is truly unmatched. I am a guaranteed customer for life."
