Equi’s Ice Cream is celebrating another win at the UK Great Taste Awards after scooping 10 stars across six products, marking the 11th consecutive year the Scottish ice cream maker has been recognised by the Guild of Fine Food. Widely regarded as the ‘Oscars’ of the food world, the Great Taste Awards are judged by more than 500 food and drink experts, including chefs, buyers, food writers and retailers.

This year’s winning flavours are: Pistachio Swirl, Strawberry, Crème Brûlée and Amaretto Bakewell, all with two stars, while Blackcurrant & Cassis Sorbet, and Liquorice & Mascarpone Gelato both collected one star.

Among this year’s winners are two flavours readily available for customers to enjoy at home. Both Pistachio Swirl and Strawberry received two-star awards, recognising them as outstanding products that deliver above and beyond. Pistachio Swirl is available in 460ml tubs at major retailers including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Co-op, Scotmid, Morrisons and selected One O One stores, while Strawberry is available in 120ml tubs from selected One O One and Asda Convenience stores. Both award-winning flavours can also be enjoyed in Equi’s parlours across Scotland.

David Equi, CEO of Equi’s Ice Cream, said: “Winning 10 Great Taste stars and extending our success to an 11th consecutive year is something the whole team is incredibly proud of. These awards are among the most respected in the food industry, so to see six of our products recognised is a fantastic achievement and reflects the passion and craftsmanship that goes into every batch we make.”

Great Taste judges were particularly impressed by Pistachio Swirl, describing it as:

“An exceptionally well-executed ice cream… the true pistachio flavour is captured beautifully. A delicious ice cream – the judges wanted to eat more.”

The latest recognition continues Equi’s long-standing success at the Great Taste Awards, with the family-run business now celebrating 11 consecutive years of recognition for its handcrafted ice cream and gelato.
