Southern Snow Ice Shaver Machine
Looking for the best block ice shaver for your Hawaiian Shaved Ice business? The Southern Snow machine is definitely one you should consider.
The Southern Snow Block Ice Shaver is super popular for many reasons.
Soft & Fluffy Shaved Ice
The Southern Snow shaved ice machine makes soft and fluffy snow-like ice. As soft and fluffy as you can imagine. If you’ve ever tried shaved ice that tastes like fresh, fluffy snow, you know what we’re talking about.
Many people have only tried snow cones that typically use crushed ice. In comparison, shaved ice is much softer and more fluffy. The type of machine you choose will determine what type of ice you will produce.
Read our description about the difference between snow cones and shaved ice.
Ice shavers that use ice cubes can create shaved ice that is much better than crushed ice. But if you want the ultimate in shaved ice, you should use a block ice shaver. When properly used, it will produce the softest texture you’ve ever tasted.
If you buy a block ice shaver like the Southern Snow machine, you’ll also need a source of block ice. If you don’t have a local ice vendor that makes genuine block ice, you may need to explore making it yourself.
