Local roots
The twins said the idea stemmed from their personal connection to kolokasi and their hometown of Sotira.
They said they grew up around kolokasi cultivation and helped their parents produce the root vegetable from a young age, describing it as part of their identity.
Modern use of traditional products

They later presented the ice cream at the Sotira Kolokasi Festival, where they said many visitors were pleasantly surprised after tasting it and shared positive comments.
Carob addition
