Salt & Straw
Salt & Straw is an ice cream company based in Portland, Oregon, founded in 2011 by cousins Kim Malek and Tyler Malek.[2] HistorySalt & Straw began as a food cart in the Alberta Arts District of Portland, Oregon. Three months later the company opened its first brick-and-mortar location. Since opening in 2011, Salt & Straw has opened other locations in the Portland area and offers a home delivery service throughout the US.[3] In order to ship ice cream nationwide delivery, the company packs its ice cream in dry ice and kraft paper.[4] In 2014, Vice President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Salt & Straw with U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley.[5] Salt & Straw has locations in Portland, Eugene, Lake Oswego,[6] Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Francisco, San Ramon, San Diego, Orlando, Sacramento, Seattle, Miami, New York,[7] Salem New Hampshire in Tuscan Village ( New England ) and Las Vegas.[8] Salt & Straw is partially owned by film star and wrestler Dwayne Johnson.[9] Salt & Straw is also the exclusive ice cream partner of Alaska Airlines.[10] In May 2025, Food & Wine reported that Salt & Straw’s annual Upcycled Food Series has now diverted over 40,000 pounds of food waste since its launch in April 2022. This includes ingredients like date seed coffee substitutes and whey-based "wheyskey."[11] Flavors.jpg) Since opening, Salt & Straw has gained national media attention for its exotic ice cream flavors, some of which are seasonal. Flavors including Bone marrow with Bourbon Smoked Cherries and Arbequina Olive Oil, are one reason Salt and Straw has been included on lists of America's best ice cream.[12][13][14][15][16] In 2015, Salt & Straw partnered each shop with different elementary schools to create flavors designed by children. Stop, Guac & Roll (avocado-vanilla ice cream with cinnamon-sugar-dusted fried tortillas) and Honey Bear (vanilla custard with chocolate honeycomb candy and edible glitter) were two of the flavors created.[17] In 2016, Salt & Straw developed new flavors from food waste: edible by-products of the food production process. New flavors were made with overripe strawberries, spent brewing grains and near-expiration date vegan mayonnaise. Proceeds from the sales of the featured flavors from its Portland stores ($3,000) were donated to Urban Gleaners, a Portland nonprofit. Salt & Straw creates little food waste or scraps, because its products are frozen. When an item is no longer offered on its menu, any leftover ice cream is donated to a nonprofit.[18] See alsoReferences
