Salt and Straw's flagship savory-sweet ice cream: ripe Oregon pear puree folded into a custard base, with crumbled Rogue Creamery blue cheese veining through in soft cold pockets.
Salt and Straw opened on Alberta Street in Portland in 2011, founded by cousins Kim and Tyler Malek, with a manifesto to source 80 percent of dairy and produce from Oregon farms. The pear and blue cheese flavour was on the opening menu and became the chain's signature. The pairing draws on the Pacific Northwest's combined strength in pears (Comice and Bosc from Hood River) and blue cheese (Rogue Creamery in Central Point, founded 1933). Salt and Straw now operates 36 locations across six US cities, but the original Alberta Street scoop counter remains canonical.
