Jeni became inspired to make artisan ice creams while working at a French patisserie. Drawing on the practices of a traditional pastry kitchen, Jeni created her own techniques to make American ice creams that are less sweet and more flavorful.

Each batch of Jeni’s ice creams is carefully tended to; each flavor artfully achieved with fresh ingredients found in the Ohio countryside as well as responsibly-raised exotics from around the world. All of Jeni’s ice creams, sauces, pralines and marshmallows are handcrafted in Jeni’s production kitchen in Columbus, Ohio.

The goal of Jeni’s is to provide an unforgettable experience for its customers.  Every member of the Jeni’s team is devoted to a singular mission: to create the finest ice creams with compelling ingredients and serve them with graciousness to every customer.

Flavors:

ICE CREAM:

Salty Caramel
Initial notes of burnt sugar give way to mouth-watering saltiness. A perfect salty sweet balance.

Gravel Road
Savory and smoky hits of almonds first, rounded out with salty notes for a satisfying finish.

Honey Vanilla Bean
Amazing cream flavor is lifted up and exalted by subtle hints of honey and vanilla.

Pistachio
Pure and true pistachio flavor; very lightly sweetened for a savory finish.

Thai Chili
Complex flavors of hot, salty, savory, and sweet melt to provide a satisfying treat. Spicy finish lingers.

Bourbon Buttered Pecan
Subtle corn mash notes come first, followed by rich and savory pecans; a charming hit of Bourbon finishes.

Dark Chocolate
Mouth-filling, palate-gripping, intense chocolate flavor with a fudge-like texture. Pleasingly dry finish.

Wildberry Lavender
Complex. Intense lavender with hints of exotic spices and lots of brambly berry flavors.

SORBET:

Riesling Poached Pear
A surprisingly rich sorbet; pure pear flavor with unique pear texture; sweet Riesling notes shine on the finish.

YOGURT:

Lemon Yogurt
Pure tart lemon, true tangy yogurt, perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Jeni’s favorite!

Seasonal Flavors:

ICE CREAM:

Brown Butter Almond Brittle
Based on the traditional Norwegian dessert krokan. Browned butter gives depth to salty, sweet almond brittle.

Savannah Buttermint
Salted butter softens cool mint while flecks of white chocolate add a playful crunch.

YOGURT:

Mango Lassi
Intense mango flavor with musky undertones; curiously rich and savory with cream and yogurt on the finish.

OHIO LOVE YOU IS THE WHOLE STORY …

PASTURE TO TABLE,

COW TO CONE.

Ohio Love You is everything Jeni’s is! —their inspirations … their ingredients … their relationships with devoted customers, talented farmers and a supportive community. It is a celebration of everything that makes Jeni’s ice creams truly splendid!

During the growing season, the Jeni’s kitchen reflects the flavors of the Ohio countryside. In summer, each day brings fresh strawberries bursting from flats, hundreds of Japanese cucumbers piled in crates, and bushels of heirloom melons bought at the Saturday market.

When a local farmer brings bags of fresh mint, their team washes and chops it before steeping it in cream. Apricots are peeled and sliced before they are pureed for a mid-summer yogurt.

And of course, all of their ice creams are made with Ohio dairy from pasture raised cows. No antibiotics, growth hormones, herbicides or pesticides necessary … cows eat grass, which their bodies were built to eat.

2009 rolls around and finds Age Old Stationery embracing a more edgy sound and approach to music. With slow, bluesy, piano driven melodies and a fresh modern edge that draws from many diverse influences they seem more confident with their own original sound.

Kassi Brown and Ellen Coplin have been performing together since late 2006 and are presently on a tour of coffeehouses throughout Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. “We want to present music that is not your stereotypical Christian music. We want to give people music that is well written and performed: music that is appealing to listen to and well done. At the same time that is not the end goal by any means. We want our music to reach into the hearts of our listeners.”
