Dreaming of Creamery


We left Elimsport this morning with our car packed full of local veggies and our sights set on Pittsburgh. We left ourselves enough time to stop by Sal's alma mater, Penn State, to see how it's changed since he was there last. Honestly, my main goal was just to get to the Berkey Creamery on campus.

The Creamery has been a Penn State tradition since 1865. According to their website, approximately 4.5 million pounds of milk pass through the Creamery's stainless steel holding tanks each year . About half comes from a 225-cow herd at the University's Dairy Production Research Center, and the rest is purchased from an independent milk producer.

Either way, the result is heavenly. I had my first Creamery cone back in 4th grade on a field trip, and have taken the opportunity to devour one whenever I get the chance - which luckily for my waistline is only once every couple of years. Today's Wicked Caramel Sundae was just the ticket.
