Northern Ireland has the best ice cream in the UK

Morelli Ice Cream Ltd based in Coleraine in County Londonderry has won the ice cream industry’s most prestigious award – The National Ice Cream Championships 2019. This means Ireland is home to the best ice cream in the country – as Morelli’s family-owned outlets, franchisees and stockists are spread across Ireland.

The National Championships take place every year at the ice cream industry trade show, The Ice Cream and Gelato Expo held in Harrogate this week. The Expo is organised by the Ice Cream Alliance, the sectors trade association that represents a business sector worth over £1 billion a year.

The winner was announced at the glittering Presidents Ball last night. The delicious ice cream and gelato recipes were judged by food journalist and broadcaster Nigel Barden.

Morelli Ice Cream Ltd is over 100 years old. The company has just opened a brand-new factory and now produces 700,000 litres of ice cream per year.

“It is a wonderful honour to be chosen as the best in Britain and Ireland,” said a delighted Arnaldo Morelli.
“We are absolutely delighted that Morelli’s Ices has been crowned the National Champion in the 2019 National Ice Cream Competition in Harrogate,” commented Zelica Carr, CEO of the Ice Cream Alliance. “Morelli’s has been producing quality ice cream since 1911 and is still a family owned and run business. Congratulations to them.”
