Vanilla Ice Cream Day is celebrated every year on July 23 to honor one of the world`s most beloved, versatile, and classic dessert flavors.
Vanilla ice cream originated in the early 18th century when French chefs blended Mesoamerican vanilla with creamy European custard-based ice cream.
Vanilla accounts for roughly 29 per cent of all ice cream sales, it is the undisputed foundation of many iconic treats.
In the 18th century vanilla was not just viewed as a sweet treat but was believed to possess significant medicinal qualities.
