Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches, the fast-growing, woman- and veteran-owned company renowned for its premium, handcrafted frozen treats, is expanding in select Whole Foods Market stores on the East Coast, making its indulgent ice cream sandwiches available for more customers throughout the region.

Whole Foods Market is dedicated to discovering and supporting local and emerging CPG brands that align with its rigorous ingredient standards. Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches’ products meet these high standards by excluding all 300+ prohibited ingredients, such as partially hydrogenated oils, artificial sweeteners and FD&C synthetic colors.

“Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches’ [products] combine premium ice cream and crunchy cookies to create crave-worthy frozen treats,” said Daniela D’Ambrosio, forager for local and emerging brands at Whole Foods Market. “I first tasted this brand when I was looking for a treat to share with my toddler. After the first bite, I had to go back in the store and buy a second bar – it was that unbelievable!”

Created with 14% butterfat ice cream, freshly baked cookies, homemade inclusions and nut-free ingredients, Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches’ products redefine frozen indulgence. The brand originated when sous chef Hannah Pollack created restaurant-quality ice cream sandwiches that captivated her husband, Belgian-born chef Xavier Meers. Together, they blend European artisanship with Southern charm to deliver the ultimate sweet treat.

In January, Whole Foods Market launched Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches’ products, offering eight irresistible flavors: Banana Pudding, Cookie Monster, Chocolate Blackout, Strawberry Shortcake, Birthday Cake, Mocha Brownie, Key Lime Pie and Classic.

“From the beginning, our dream has been to bring high-quality, chef-driven ice cream sandwiches to more people, and Whole Foods Market has always been a key part of that vision,” said Pollack, president and CEO of Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches. “Expanding our presence with the nation’s leading natural and organic foods retailer is an incredible honor and a testament to the quality and passion behind every sandwich we make.”
