New Zealand Natural Golden Manuka Honey Ice Cream Launch

25 January 2010, 10:06


HAI. I love ice cream. If you looked at my freezer right now you would find multiple tubs of ice cream jam packed in my attempt at an optimum tetris stack. The awesome Fiona has invited us to a New Zealand Natural store for a tasting of their newest flavour the Golden Manuka Honey. I was worried that the manuka honey would be too strong a flavour for me but was pleasantly surprised that the ice cream had a light base and kinda tasted like mango ice cream with a hit of honey and golden kiwifruit ripples throughout.


Mmm also managed to get a scoop of the butterscotch & walnut icecream oh man so good


HEH we were also given a free box of the manuka honey ice cream to take home. 9 whole litres baby yeah! Attempting to carry the box for a 20min walk was an interesting experience. It happened to be 33 degrees that day and while the box was in a plastic bag I soon gave up trying to hold by the handle because I am weak and had to hug the box like a baby. A baby with edges. That was fat. That you didn’t want to melt.


Manged to get the ice cream to the safety of Helen’s work freezer but not before opening it up and digging out some scoops



For a limited time, New Zealand Natural are offering customers a FREE scoop with any purchase of a regular ice cream to allow people to try the new flavour.


hehe side note: a certain someone managed to put both our boxes of ice cream into an esky in the boot of his car, shut the door and realise he’d left the keys in the boot… 1 hour and 1 very expensive locksmith later we rock up to pyrmont to deliver the ice cream to noods’ work where the awesome jason (hi jason’s gf!) recognises me and we are loitering outside the building because I can’t remember which entrance is there’s. A quick game of fooseball is played while I check on the survival of the ice cream. It’s a bit melty but still good and goes into the safety of their freezer.

  2. I wonder who that someone was…

    I also wonder if New Zealand natural would allow you to buy a scoop of the manuka honey flavour and get the free scoop on top! The ice cream was nice. As with you, not as strong as I was expecting it to be.

  3. Your baby quote was classic. And oh dears, such misfortune that they ended up locked in the boot, but all good in the end.

    ps. I’ve always wanted to work somewhere with a fooseball table!

  7. Oh my – when you were holding the box, I thought there would be separate, plastic tubs of ice-cream in there!

  8. I couldn’t even fit that in my freezer…but the idea of having that much ice cream in my freezer is soo appealing!

  9. Hahaha! I thought that box was going to be full of little tubs, not actually packed with ice cream itself! Fantastic!
