Krembo (or Creambo – meaning “cream inside it”) is a popular winter substitute for ice cream, sold from October to February, and every year demand increases.

Strauss Group Ltd. said that it manufactures hundreds of thousands of the treats daily, and is doing everything it can to meet demand.

“The Strauss factory will continue to work around the clock in order to sweeten the winter for all the Krembo lovers across the country,” a spokesperson told Hadashot news.
