2011 NZ Ice Cream Awards
The 15th New Zealand Ice Cream Awards were announced in in Queenstown on Thursday, 26th May 2011.
Simply the Best!! As the classic Tina Turner number states - this was the description of one of the Supreme Award winning ice creams in this year's New Zealand Ice Cream Awards. In the kids choice judge panel, a Maungawhau School student stated "I need air to breathe, water to live but ice cream to survive!"
The Chief Judge Kay McMath and her team of five judges took two full days to judge the large number of entries split over the 11 categories. They used International judging guidelines 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.
