Chapman's Ice Cream of Markdale recently scooped a prestigious award on the global stage.
Chapman’s Salty Caramel Crunch ice cream came first at the International Ice Cream Consortium (IICC) conference.
Last week, 108 delegates from 13 countries joined the conference of industry leaders in Florence, Italy, where members nominated their best caramel ice cream product to be judged by peers.
Members tried twelve ice cream flavours and voted for the best in a blind tasting competition with specific criteria including overall taste, creaminess, and visual appearance. Chapman’s Super Premium Plus Salty Caramel Crunch ice cream took a solid lead and was proudly recognized as the best caramel ice cream.
“I am extremely proud that our peers from around the world voted for our ice cream to be the best of the best. It was not an easy competition with so many outstanding ice cream products participating,” said Ashley Chapman, the Chief Operating Officer at Chapman’s.
According to Chapman's, the Salty Caramel Crunch is the best-selling product in a luxury Super Premium Plus line.
The blend of salty caramel ice cream with a ripple of salty caramel sauce, butter toffee pieces, and caramel cookie bits has been selling on the Canadian market since 2023. It's made with 100 per cent Canadian dairy, with natural flavours and colours.
The International Ice Cream Consortium presented Chapman’s with two more prestigious awards: Silver in the Best Ice Cream category for the Cherry Cheesecake luxury ice cream and Bronze in the Most Innovative Ice Cream category for its famed Cold Brew Coffee flavour.
