{Review And Giveaways} New Zealand Natural Ice-cream - Part I

Have you wonder why New Zealand Natural Ice-cream(NZN) is so delicious? That's because it is made with the freshest, best quality ingredients as well as fresh daily cream from cows that feed on the green unpolluted pastures of New Zealand. Here I so glad to receive 6 tubs of assorted premium ice-cream from NZN for a review as well as to share the joy of "Ice-cream Giveaways" with ALL readers from SINGAPORE.

CHOCOLATE ECSTASY

My boy's first priority of choice when comes to ice-cream is always either chocolate or cookies and cream. So when he spotted these two flavour in the freezer he can't wait but to keep asking me to let them sample first.

And to my surprised he actually ditched his favourite brand of chocolate ice-cream and ask me to get more of this NZN Chocolate Ecstasy for him. He told me he loves the rich and chocolatey taste which true enough i find it taste better with a smooth finishing taste and tinge of bitterness if compared to the other bands. Further more according to NZN website, Chocolate Ecstasy ice cream was rated the best amongst a similar flavour from three other competitors in a blind test conducted by a research company (Euro RSCG Research).

MANGO SORBET

Ladies or weight watcher if you are looking for something refreshing and yet 99% FAT FREE perhaps you can consider this NZN Mango Sorbet. Upon opening the cover you will be greeted by it's vibrant colour which similar to peach and smooth texture with refreshing taste. According to their leaflet this mango sorbet is blended into a smooth puree using fresh tropical mangos that comes with natural sweetness.

As you have read up from one of my recent post(HERE), NZN Classic Vanilla ice-cream is voted as one of the most popular pick among the other two leading brands of Vanilla ice-cream in Singapore. Those who have tried NZN Classic Vanilla commented that it has the smoothest texture compare to the rest and it's mild creamy taste blend well either by having it plain or serve as a topper on apple pie or brownie. Sometime we also love to have it with Root Beer to replicate our favourite Root Beer Float too.

{Review And Giveaways} New Zealand Natural Ice-cream

If you have follow my blog or facebook page updates you might still remember there was a fun "Blind Taste Test" game which I have shared in one of my recipe posts a few weeks back. To my surprised someone from New Zealand Natural(NZN) actually spotted that post and contacted me regarding about the test result. And so coincidentally, NZN also conducted a blind taste test prior the launch of their products and it comes out that both our taste test results were similar.

Below is the link of the "Blind Taste Test" game which you might be interested to read more under this link Chocolate Ice-cream Cone Cupcakes with Vanilla Ice-cream.

Furthermore the PR from NZN was kind to delivery 6 tubs of their assorted Premium Ice Cream for me to review and taste test. So Stay tune for more updates on upcoming post this week as well as Giveaway of FREE Zealand Natural Premium Ice Cream to 4 Lucky Winners!!!!!

Which is your favourite Premium Ice-Cream And Flavour?

As a mum with a young kid at home, our freezer compartment is always fill with either one/two tubs of our family after meal dessert - "ice-cream". And our usual all-time favourite will be either Chocolate/Cookies and Cream for my boy whereas Vanilla for me in order to make my enhance my root beer float or serve as a topper for my homemade brownies or crepes.

Sometime I always think we are so fortunate to live in Singapore whereby we can easily access to a wide range of Ice-Creams either manufactured in local or air-flown from overseas. And as you can see from the above photo, there are so many different brands of ice-cream from budget to premium displaying in the fridge area waiting for you to pick it up.

Often some of the loyalty brands which attracts most of the consumers will be like Haggen Dazs or Ben and Jerry's whereby they always come in a bundle promotion of S$20++ for two tubs in assorted flavours that you can choose from.

On top of all those familiar ice-cream brands, this month from July onwards you can find another 6 different flavours from New Zealand Natural(NZN) sitting side by side with those premium brands EXCLUSIVELY only in all Cold Storage Supermarket outlets island wide. And I am sure this is a great news for NZN consumers like us where we can now enjoy our favourite premium ice-creams at more accessible areas rather running down to their outlets in town or east side areas.

For curiosity, last week I also did a quick survey on my facebook page(Cuisine Paradise) to see what's the usual trend of getting ice-cream for home consumers base loyalty brands or promotion factors. If you are interested to find out more about their comments, you can follow the link HERE or you can also drop me your view/comments here base on:-

~ What's your criteria for choosing a tub of Premium Ice-cream? Is it because of its unique flavour, process of making(ie. fat free), ingredients or(ie. using fresh fruits) OR?

~ What makes you continue to purchase your usual premium ice-cream with a particular flavour that you insists of? (example: Haggen Dazs's Green Tea, Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter or New Zealand Natural Hokey Pokey)


Hope to see your views regarding  your favourite brand and flavour soon.
