Mistura has several locations in Madrid.
MISTURA
With several premises in Madrid, this house was born in 2013 offering a variety of artisan ice creams in which quality and ingredients are taken care of, and to which all kinds of toppings are added. As a singularity, they use a quartz stone at -20º of temperature where they put the ice cream and add the chosen toppings so that, with a spatula, they are mixed gettingthe ice cream to take more texture and creaminess. Its co-founder, Carlos Sotomayor, explains his secret: "We make all our ice cream from scratch, with natural raw materials and whenever possible choosing ingredients from small local producers." It is said that pistachio ice cream delights all Madrilenians and, as Carlos tells us, "we make it with 100% national pistachio from a small producer in Cáceres. We choose high-quality pistachios, which are slowly roasted with a pinch of salt and ground for hours to create a fine paste that is added to our base of milk, cream and sugars."
