A Forbidden Love Story: How Two Colombian Giants Created the Chocoramo Ice Cream
For almost a year, whispers and glances passed between two giants of the Colombian snack world, separated only by the avenue of competition. These were Colombina, renowned for its sweets and ice cream, and Ramo, the beloved maker of the iconic Chocoramo ponqué (snack cake). Their “flirtation,” as insiders call it, has finally blossomed into a delicious reality: Chocoramo ice cream.
This isn’t just another flavor; it’s a “forbidden love” story, a collaboration that seemed unfeasible given that Colombina and Ramo are direct competitors in various categories. Yet, the allure of creating a truly indulgent treat for Colombians proved too strong to resist.
Ramo’s Marketing Manager, Andrés Victoria, explains, “we understood that Colombina was the best ally because, although we are competition, we found two products of different segments that we could merge.”
The Chocoramo ice cream is a special edition product available from september until Febuary 2026. It comes in three tempting formats:
* Cone: Available in neighborhood stores for $3,500 COP, featuring a vanilla ice cream base finely mixed with crushed ponqué and the customary Chocoramo chocolate coating.
* Liter Tub: Found in supermarkets, this version boasts the same vanilla and ponqué ice cream, but with a chocolate “vest” to more closely mimic the flavors of the original Ramo treat.
* 10-Liter Box: For ice cream shops, this scooping version also features the chocolate “vest.”
Mauricio Escobar, Vice President of corporate Marketing at Colombina, emphasizes the unexpected nature of this collaboration: “Chocoramo ice cream is an unexpected romance, but very Colombian.”
While the exact details of who initiated the partnership remain a closely guarded secret, both companies are confident that this “forbidden love” will yield significant rewards. Colombina produces an average of 110,000 liters of ice cream per day,and Ramo produces a staggering 600,000 units of Chocoramo daily.
this collaboration proves that even rivals can come together to create somthing truly special. As Victoria puts it,”This alliance…shows that when two colombians come together, when two Colombian companies come together, great things happen.”
So, whether you choose the cone, the tub, or the scoop, prepare to experiance a taste of Colombian history and innovation in every bite. This “forbidden love” is one that everyone can enjoy, guilt-free.
