Could it be organic vs non-organic?
Even the organic ones at Costco are twice the size.

Blue Bell > all
The regular french vanilla kind? It most certainly does melt. And look at the ingredients: Cream, milk, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla flavor, carob bean gum, and guar gum. How would that not melt?
The ingredients for Costco's Kirkland-brand premium ice cream are the same (except Kirkland says vanilla extract instead of vanilla flavor, not sure if there's a difference), but for some reason I seem to prefer the Kirkland brand to TJ's.
Living only 1.5 hours from the creamery is dangerous.
Agreed that Talenti is damn good stuff. If we're talking about local stuff, then Salt and Straw wins hands down.

Not really, genuine vanilla comes from vanilla beans, likely from Madacascar.Vanilla flavor comes from a beaver's anus. look it up.

Agreed, Talenti's Alphonso mango sorbetto is very, very good. Also one of their few flavors I still eat as a vegan.
I need to try their Roman Raspberry.
The 3.5 lb. tubs at Costco (I'm looking at one now) give no hint that they've added anything to the deglet noor pitted dates. They seem to keep forever. I keep the containers closed. I typically take a big handful of them and chop them into finer pieces, maybe about 1/2 dozen pieces/date, and store those in another, smaller container in the kitchen (unrefrigerated), for addition to baked goods, basically. Again, seems to keep fine, never an off flavor, no intrusion by fungi.
These are deglet noor. I leave them in the plastic container (unrefrigerated), I suppose it's not a perfect seal, but once opened the dates still remain fairly moist after a year or so... I suppose they may be a little dry now. I've been eating a few out of hand the last few days, they are OK.Yeah, they won't keep unless they've been treated. They'll dry out almost like a dehydrated date after a month out in the open air. That can be a good thing though, depending on the type of date - honey dates aren't very good fresh, but are awesome dry because that's when the flavor comes out.
