Food & Wine magazine has named Mount Desert Island Ice Cream in Bar Harbor one of the top 25 ice cream spots in the country.

The magazine named Jack Daniels ice cream as the company’s signature flavor, and noted that President Obama tried the coconut on his visit to Bar Harbor last year.

MDI’s Bar Harbor location at 7 Firefly Lane opened in 2006. Owner Linda Parker opened a second store at 51 Exchange St. in Portland last year.

Annabelle’s ice cream in Portsmouth, N.H., also made the top 25 list.

Other ice cream shops on the list include Sweet Action Ice Cream in Denver, which is run completely by wind power and sells baklava ice cream as its signature flavor, and the Creole Creamery in New Orleans, known for its Creole Cream Cheese ice cream made with a curdled cream cheese local to the Big Easy.
