FAQs

DO YOU HAVE TO BE JEWISH TO EAT CHOZEN?

NOT AT ALL! CHOZEN IS FOR EVERYONE. PEOPLE OF ANY AND ALL RELIGIONS WILL ENJOY CHOZEN.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT CHOZEN IS KOSHER-CERTIFIED DAIRY?

KOSHER DIETARY LAWS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE JEWISH RELIGION. THESE LAWS DETERMINE WHICH FOODS CONFORM TO THE JEWISH CODE. THE “LEVEL” OF KOSHER DEPENDS ON TWO VARIABLES: THE SOURCE OF THE INGREDIENTS AND THE STATUS OF THE PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT. KOSHER CERTIFICATION, WHICH IS THE GUARANTEE THAT THE FOOD MEETS KOSHER REQUIREMENTS, REVOLVES AROUND THESE TWO CRITERIA. THE KOSHER DESIGNATION OF “DAIRY” REFERS NOT ONLY TO ALL MILK AND CHEESE PRODUCTS, BUT INCLUDES ALL FOODS CONTAINING DAIRY DERIVATIVES, LIKE ICE CREAM. CHOZEN IS 100% KOSHER CERTIFIED BY EXPERIENCED RABBIS SO ENJOY!

BUT ARE YOU PAREVE? OR KOSHER FOR PASSOVER?

NO, PAREVE MEANS THAT OUR PRODUCT WOULD NOT CONTAIN DAIRY, AND OUR ICE CREAM IS MADE WITH FRESH DAIRY PRODUCTS FROM HUDSON VALLEY FARMS. WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY KOSHER FOR PASSOVER BUT HOPE TO BE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE SIGN UP FOR OUR EMAIL LIST AND WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN OUR ICE CREAM IS KOSHER FOR PASSOVER.

CHOZEN IS ALL NATURAL, BUT IS IT ORGANIC? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

CHOZEN IS NOT USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC, BUT OUR PRODUCT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CHEMICAL OR SYNTHETIC INGREDIENTS. EVERY INGREDIENT IN OUR ICE CREAM IS HAND SELECTED, PRODUCED LOCALLY AND SUSTAINABLY AND IS 100% NATURAL. YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT NO HIDDEN ADDITIVES, PRESERVATIVES, CHEMICALS, PESTICIDES OR HORMONES WOULD EVER FIND THEIR WAY INTO A PINT OF CHOZEN.

IS CHOZEN SAFE FOR CHILDREN WITH ALLERGIES?

SOME OF OUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN NUTS, AND ALL OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE PRODUCED IN A FACILITY THAT HANDLES NUTS. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUR LABEL TO ENSURE THAT CHOZEN IS SAFE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO EAT.

WHAT DOES CHUTZPAH MEAN? AND HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT?

CHUTZPAH, PRONOUNCED, HUTS-PAA, IS THE QUALITY OF AUDACITY! THE WORD DERIVES FROM THE HEBREW WORD UPÂ (הָּפְצֻח), AND IN OUR CASE WE LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS HAS HAVING THE INCREDIBLE IDEA TO TAKE THINGS LIKE RUGELACH, MACAROONS, MATZOH AND BABKA AND MIX THEM INTO ICE CREAM.
