2008 NZ Ice Cream Awards

The Twelfth NEW ZEALAND ICE CREAM AWARDS were held in Christchurch, at the NZICA Annual Conference and Awards dinner on Thursday, 29th of May 2008.

A record 206 entries greeted the judges during the days of 7 - 9th May when the annual Ice Cream Awards were judged at the Massey University campus. The judges were Mrs Kay McMath, Ms Joanna Boese and Ms Susan Crowhen of Auckland and Mr Craig Davis from Sydney.

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.
