2006 NZ Ice Cream Awards
The tenth New Zealand Ice Cream Awards were presented at the annual NZICA Conference in Nelson on Thursday, 18th May 2006.
A record number of 185 entries (compared with 155 entries in 2005) were submitted by 19 manufacturers for judging by four expert judges (above), Ms Kay McMath, Ms Joanna Boese, Mr Garry Baker from Sydney, and Ms Christine O’Sullivan of Auckland.
International judging guidelines were followed with each ice cream starting off with 100 points from which points are deducted due to various imperfections such as appearance defects, body and texture, flavour defects and melting defects.
