Tip Top scoops up two ‘Best in Category’ and six gold at 2011 New Zealand Ice Cream Awards
Iconic New Zealand ice cream manufacturer Tip Top has scooped up six gold, two ‘Best in Category’ and four silver awards at the New Zealand Ice Cream Awards.
Awarded ‘Best in Category’ for their Vanilla and Boysenberry Ripple ice cream flavours, Tip Top also took home gold for their French Vanilla, Vanilla, Strawberries & Cream and Boysenberry Ripple offerings.
Tip Top's focus on innovation was rewarded when Chocolate Malt, a new flavour from Tip Top’s technologists, took home gold in the Open Creative category, whilst Creamy Yoghurt Ice Cream Strawberry received gold in the Low Fat category.
“In our 75th birthday year,
these awards are further proof that Kiwis really love the
fresh milk and cream, quality ingredients and delicious
taste Tip Top has been famous for since 1936,” says Fiona
Hyland, General Manager of Marketing & Innovation.
“As we look forward to the next 75 years, we’re
committed to continuing to produce the delicious ice cream
New Zealanders know and love and developing new and exciting
products.”
Tip Top produces approximately 35 million
litres of ice cream a year; the three most popular flavours
are Vanilla, Cookies and Cream & Boysenberry.
From thirty-one companies there were a total of 250 entries in the fifteenth annual New Zealand Ice Cream Awards. A team of six judges took two days to judge the entries, spread over 11 categories. The judges awarded points for appearance, body, texture, flavour and melting properties.
