Elephant House Karutha Kolumban ice cream with fresh mangoes

The succulent mangoes that go into Elephant House Karutha Kolumban ice cream are sourced entirely from local fruit growers located mainly in Jaffna and the surrounding areas such as Vavuniya, Kilinochchi, Dambulla and Wellawaya.

This is good news for the millions of Elephant House ice cream consumers who have come to love the 'local' flavour of this dessert. Local ice cream market leader Elephant House was the first to introduce fresh mango in a frozen dessert to Sri Lankan consumers, and therefore it is not surprising that, since its launch Elephant House Karutha Kolumban ice cream has grown increasingly popular.

Neil Samarasinghe, Head of Frozen Confectionery at Ceylon Cold Stores PLC , Elephant House, and Vice President, John Keells Holdings PLC said, "We launched Elephant House Karutha Kolumban ice cream to bring our consumers a complete dessert that combines fresh local fruit and rich ice cream. While introducing a unique flavour to ice cream lovers, we have also been able to create and develop a market for yet another locally grown fruit."
