Are you sure about that? Any milk from any mammal is full of hormones.
For the clueless, here is what their website says about the rBGH.

I'm clueless? You said "hormone free" which certainly it is not. All milk has a plethora of hormones in it, including BGH.

Well even that's not true, how does one distinguish the milk from rBGH treated cows and untreated ones? You do know why they use the terms "we have required all of our farmers to pledge not to treat their cows with rBGH" don't you?

BlueBell cookies and cream. We're down to our last bucket and I'm getting nervous. Wish they would hurry up and punch out some ice cream!

100% natural unfortunately includes Carrageenan, guar gum, and carob bean gum; all of which are naturally occurring fillers that make ice cream "not melt" and be "runny", but tend to sit in the lining of your gut like sludge. B&J tastes good but the ones that don't fill you up are the ones that don't have filler.

There is a local place nearby
http://www.salemvalleyfarmsicecream.com/hours.htm
Handmade ice cream; they have a lot of odd flavors like basil.
16% butterfat, which i think is about the highest there is.
This is not hyperbole when I say it is far ahead of any store bought brand I have eaten

Yep, same here. I usually eat a Quart of Ice Cream per day.
Zeroing in on Blue Bunny Vanilla Bean being my favorite.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but 30 grams of fat, 56 grams sugars...can't think of anything worse..lol..
Get your cholesterol seriously checked at the end of 3 months. If its normal you will live for ever.
At the age of 69 my cholesterol markers are fantastic but that's bc I do satins. You would have to hold me down and shove the stuff down my throat..lol

56 grams of sugar from ice cream isn't much, because I otherwise don't eat much carbs. I am sure I remain under a total of 200 g carbs per day, which is below the recommended amount. But yeah, I'm the odd guy who gains a few pounds weight during the summer and loses them over the winter.
Cholesterol check coming up in November.

You are right. The best would be to make own gelato at home. Not too difficult to make with practice, it just takes time to churn it.

Low cholesterol is not always the best idea. For many folks an extremely low value is linked to stroke! Your body needs fats, they just might be better if they didn't come from Ice Cream!
