We who runs Blåsippsbackens Mathantverk

About our passion for our creation, our pursuit of sustainability and ice cream made from scratch with local ingredients. On our farm we grow as many of the ingredients as possible.

The ice cream makers

Our names are Kajsa Lindell Hagelin and Claes Nilsson Hagelin. Kajsa's son Melker Lindell, who is a trained chef, is the one who inspires us to different new flavour combinations, he is worth his weight in gold for our company. In everyday life, Kajsa works as an analyst in the insurance industry and Claes as a mechanic at a pharmaceutical company. We run Blåsippsbackens Mathantverk in our spare time just because it is so much fun. We have a separate house on our property where we have installed a kitchen for producing ice cream. The kitchen is inspected and approved for food production by a food inspector from the Environmental and Community Planning Administration in Enköping Municipality.

For us, it is important to have food made from scratch. Flavours and colors do not have to be artificial. The blueberry & spearmint ice cream is purple, just as you would expect. The lilac and lavender ice creams are also expected to be purple – but they are not always. Sometimes we try adding a little blueberries to give it a little more color, but without it taking on too much flavour, which is a difficult balance. Our ice cream is simply not as colorful as store-bought ice cream, and that is probably how it should be. The most important thing for us is the flavours!

We strive to use local ingredients for our ice cream production as much as possible. And that it should be easy to buy ice cream from us, from our retailers or from our own self-service shop that we call Glassomaten. There you can buy artisanal ice cream made from scratch with local ingredients 24 hours a day.

The process of making our artisanal ice cream

  • Mix ice cream base
  • Pasteurization
  • Maturing storage
  • Seasoning
  • Ice cream machine
  • Packaging
  • Shock freezing
  • The ice cream is ready!

1. Mix of ice cream base

The ice cream base (cream, eggs, milk, sugar, etc.) is mixed together.

2. Pasteurization

The ice cream base is now heated and then quickly cooled. This process kills bacteria and makes the ice cream safe to eat.

3. Maturing storage

The pasteurized ice cream base is left to mature in the refrigerator overnight. This stabilizes the fat and proteins, which gives a better consistency and refines the taste.

4. Seasoning

This is where our creative journey is in full swing. We prefer to use what we have grown ourselves as seasoning, constantly striving to create new flavour combinations but also to refine the ones we have already created.

5. Ice cream machine

The mixture is put into an ice cream maker, air is whipped in and the ice crystals become smaller. While the ice cream is stirred, it freezes.

6. Packaging

We package the ice cream into our cups directly from the ice cream machine.

7. Shock freezing

The ice cream is quickly shock-frozen to about -35 degrees or colder. This is done to preserve the structure and prevent ice crystals from growing,

8. Our ice cream is ready!

Then Blåsippsbackens Mathantverk's ice cream is ready to be packed into the Glassomaten, taken to the market or sent to our retailers.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, we sell large packages, but not in Glassomaten. We have tested, but very few customers want to buy larger packages. However, upon request, we can adapt both the flavour and size of the package to the customer's wishes to the greatest extent possible. Instead, we prioritize having as many different flavours in Glassomaten as possible.

We don't always have all the flavours, but vary the flavours depending on what flavouring we have available and what flavour we feel like making. If we don't have blueberries, then it's difficult to make blueberry and spearmint ice cream. It's always good to contact us and ask if a certain flavour is available.

We are Kajsa, Claes and Melker. As a small family business, we make ice cream in our spare time. We have full-time jobs, so the time we have to make ice cream is limited. We also don't have a lot of freezer space and therefore can't have a huge warehouse with a lot of different flavours.

We feel great joy and passion for developing new flavours, especially flavours that are often not available in other stores. The ice cream is made from scratch, using artisanal methods, mainly with flavourings of fruit, berries, flowers, leaves, herbs and nuts. The recipes are approximate because, for example, the taste of gooseberries varies depending on the season, weather and soil – which makes it a fun challenge for every batch we make.

All our ice creams can be made with lactose-free products for lactose intolerant people. For those with milk protein allergies, there are our sorbets. We use eggs in all our ice creams and egg whites in our raspberry sorbet, otherwise all sorbets are egg-free. Our raspberry sorbet can also be made with chickpea flour instead of egg whites. If you are allergic to nuts, it may be good to know that we make all the flavours in the same kitchen, but not at the same time. This means that we cannot guarantee 100% that there are no traces of nuts in the rest of what we cook. Most sorbets are available for vegans and we have also tested making ice cream with coconut cream, but if you don't like coconut, please feel free to advise us of another suitable product.
