2000 New Zealand
Ice Cream Awards
 The
fourth NEW ZEALAND ICE CREAM AWARDS were held in Auckland
on Friday, June 23rd, 2000.
110 entries were
submitted by 13 ice cream manufacturers for judging by two international
expert judges, Dr Alan Smyth of Melbourne and Mr
Garry Baker 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.
Entries were in 7 categories, including "Kids Choice" judged by three
ten year old Howick school children (two boys and a girl).
The Supreme Award is given to the most outstanding ice cream across all categories
and this year it was impossible for the judges to separate two entries which
each attained the maximum of 100 points.
The two joint Supreme Award winners were Kapiti Cheeses Ltd -
'Fig
and Honey'
and New Zealand Natural Pty Ltd - 'Mango Sorbet'.
The kids were unanimous in their selection of 'Teletroubles' made by Deep
South Ice Cream Co Ltd, of lnvercargill.
Dr Smyth, who has over 20 years experience judging at ice cream competitions
and has judged all previous New Zealand Ice Cream Awards, states that he has
seen a significant improvement in the quality of entries, but this year the quality
of vanilla ice cream had slipped and there were no gold awards in this category.
Entries 110; Silver Awards 38; Gold Awards 38
