Jäätmeliigi

Jäätmeliigi refers to a category of ice cream in Estonia that has a fat content of at least 10% but less than 18%. This classification is specifically defined by Estonian food regulations. Products falling into this category are distinct from other ice cream types like "koorejäätis" (cream ice cream, which has a higher fat content) and "plombiir" (a more traditional, often richer ice cream). The fat content in jäätmeliigi primarily comes from milk fat, although other vegetable fats can be included up to a certain limit as per regulations. This fat contributes to the texture and mouthfeel of the ice cream, generally making it smoother and richer than lower-fat options. Jäätmeliigi encompasses a wide variety of flavors and brands available in the Estonian market, offering consumers a range of choices within this specific fat content bracket. It's a common designation found on product packaging to help consumers understand the composition of the ice cream they are purchasing.
