Black Orchid Ice Cream: Taste the Heart of Belize

A Juntos Project Success Story

Black Orchid Ice Cream has blossomed into one of Belize's most beloved premium dessert brands, showcasing the rich flavors and cultural heritage of the country through artisanal ice cream. Their journey from a small local business to a nationally recognized brand exemplifies the impact of the Juntos project's collaborative approach to business development—and they've certainly scooped up success along the way!

In the early phases, Team Juntos worked closely with the founders of Black Orchid to create a premium brand identity that celebrates the Belizean heritage. The collaboration was truly comprehensive, with contributions from every Juntos team member. Together they also crafted a visual identity that resonated with both locals and tourists, while guiding them through the process of trademarking their distinctive Black Orchid logo and name—ensuring their intellectual property remained protected as they grew.

Black Orchid ultimately focused on highlighting local ingredients, traditional flavors, and cultural elements that make the brand distinctly Belizean. The Black Orchid—Belize's national flower—became not just their namesake but a symbol of their commitment to local pride and excellence. Black Orchid Ice Cream has expanded beyond its initial location, with parlors in several villages and restaurants. They've certainly proven that in business, as in ice cream, patience and quality are the cherry on top!
