Why Is It Called Walnut Ice Cream?

Walnut Ice Cream gets its name from its star ingredient: the walnut. The creamy base is infused with walnut paste, which lends its distinctive nutty flavor and smooth texture. Real walnuts as a topping not only enhance the flavor but also add a satisfying crunch, making every scoop a delightful blend of creamy and crunchy.

But why are walnuts called walnuts? The name "walnut" comes from the Old English term wealhhnutu, which translates to "foreign nut." This name reflects the nut's origins, as it was introduced to Northern Europe by the Romans from regions further south. The name stuck and evolved into the modern English "walnut." Its unique, earthy flavor and nutritional richness have made it a cherished ingredient for centuries.
