10 Products We Love: Made in Ohio

Ohio is a beautiful state with a diverse geological landscape & fantastic attractions that keep visitors coming back for more. From the world class amusement parks of Cedar Point and Kings Island to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Lake Erie Islands & shore communities there is something for everyone in your family to enjoy. This top 10 list of things made in Ohio was extremely difficult to limit because Ohio is such a large and diverse state; keeping it to just 10 products was hard!

Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip, oh, my, goodness. You'll say the same when you try it. I already love black raspberry ice cream, and this is the best I've ever tried. The berry flavor is so true, and the chocolate is shaved just the right way so that it melts in your mouth. Graeter's ice cream itself is so rich and creamy, and it's no wonder because the first ingredient is cream. The company sources its cream and milk from Ohio dairies, which certify that they are free of artificial growth hormones. The ice cream is made in Cincinnati, Ohio.

And I almost forgot Jenis in Columbus! It is seriously the most amazing ice cream I've ever had. The owner comes up with the most amazing combinations like goat cheese and roasted red cherries, and chocolate and cayenne. The past two places I have lived in Columbus have been within walking distance to a Jenis. haha. And it can be shipped!! http://jenisicecreams.com/
