I do not know whether it was voluntary, or as a result of health code violations. However, what I have heard is that they did close down for some upgrades to equipment, etc., but they are supposed to resume production soon.

OK, thanks for the corrected info. I had read that he was in the process of reopening, which I guess was wrong. I hope it does reopen, as it would be a big loss..

From JMB 11/20/2016: Etna Ice Cream Soon To Make Its Triumphant Return After heavy renovations to its manufacturing facilities over the last several months, Etna Ice Cream co-owner Betty Smiroldo thought all was set and that ice cream would now be flowing. "We couldn't get the barrel to work," she told us on Saturday, speaking of a key part of the process. "We tried everything and it wouldn't work. We'll know Monday when a new one will be here from Italy," she said. She added that it's metal, heavy, but coming soon. After arrival it'll be thoroughly tested, prepped, and soon will be helping Etna to supply its world famous super-premium ice cream throughout SXM and neighboring islands. It's really extraordinary stuff.

My DH would be heartbroken if he couldn't get his twice a year fix of Rhum Raisin.....one of the first items that goes on our Shop n Drop order. Just sayin' <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />

Hey, someone always seems to be looking for a business venture there, here it is for those looking. OOps, it looks like it is back in business soon, lucky for all of us. We didn't buy any for our last visit so I didn't know it was out of business, but will look for it next time we visit.
