UConn is known for many things – great academics, championship sports …. and the world’s great ice cream (in our humble opinion!). Joining us on this edition of the podcast is Bill Sciturro, who is the manger of the UConn creamery that is responsible for making the ice cream that is sold at the UConn Dairy Bar. Bill tells us a little bit about the history of ice cream making at UConn and what flavors are the most popular. He has an interesting background himself as he grew up working in ice cream shops in Rhode Island and started his career in health care before returning to his ice cream roots. The process of making ice cream, and the other products produced at the creamery is not an easy and sometimes unglamourous task and Bill goes through the whole process. He also talks about what preparation is done to prepare special favors like the Senior Scoop and the ones that honor basketball championships. Finally, he brought us some ice cream and we got a chance to have a taste. If you want to visit the Dairy Bar this summer, these are the hours.
