Throughout the month of July, every seasonal Salt and Straw flavor is an homage to the Oregon berry. The standout of the month's offerings?  Strawberry with cilantro lime cheesecake, featuring strawberries from South Barlow farms in Canby, Oregon that are picked, delivered, and tossed into this dreamy ice cream within the same day. Perpetually raising the bar for ice-cream flavors (as per usual), Salt & Straw blazes a new trail through the typical strawberry fields with swirls of cilantro lime cheesecake, adding zing, brightness, and textural contrast to the entire experience.

For another unconventional take on strawberry ice cream, head to North Portland's liquid nitrogen-powered What’s The Scoop and check out their “Sizzling Strawberry,” loaded with fresh strawberry puree and ribbons of local jam-makers Rose City Pepperheads’ “Sizzling Strawberry” jam.

You can also bring home the berries with a carton of Oregon Strawberry ice cream from Tillamook, or grab one of the last pints from the farmers market before the season winds down and make your own at home.
