Seasonal Spotlight: Summer Sorbets Made with Local Fruit

Summer in New Orleans isn’t just hot—it’s full of flavor. At Quintin’s Natural Premium Ice Cream & Sorbet, we embrace the season by celebrating what grows right here in our backyard. Our summer sorbets are handcrafted in small batches using locally sourced fruit from Louisiana farmers and markets. The result? A lineup of vibrant, refreshing treats that capture the very best of summer in every spoonful.

🍓 Bursting with Local Flavor

Each sorbet at Quintin’s starts with ripe, in-season fruit harvested at its peak. From sun-kissed Ponchatoula strawberries to juicy Louisiana peaches and tangy citrus from Plaquemines Parish, we’re proud to partner with local growers who share our passion for quality and sustainability. These natural ingredients are gently blended with just a touch of organic cane sugar and fresh-squeezed lemon juice—no artificial colors, no preservatives, just pure fruit-forward refreshment.
