Sometimes, business school is all about making connections. Just ask Vedant Saboo and Mike Weber, the founders of Frutero Ice Cream. The duo met in 2018, when they were assigned to sit next to one another on their first day of MBA class at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. They forged a friendship and eventually traveled to India together, where Saboo introduced Weber to the tropical fruit ice cream he grew up eating. The trip inspired them to create their own line of ice cream made from 100 percent tropical fruit. Saboo and Weber are now based in Delray Beach, and Frutero is available at Whole Foods and other retail locations across the Southeast. As for what to try first, Saboo’s favorite is the mango, because it reminds him of the mango orchard his grandfather owned in Ranchi, India. Weber recommends creating a “piña colada” of sorts, by blending a scoop each of Frutero coconut and pineapple ice creams with 2 ounces of Bacardi Rum.
