Whatever your taste..

Blackcurrant
Fancy a bit of zest on the tongue?

This ice cream instantly reminded me of a childhood memory of picking blackcurrants and berries from my grandmother’s garden. Rich and tangy with fruit without being overly sweet, this is the ultimate expression of blackcurrant. GBFA Judges

Sweet, sour, tangy & smooth. And this has been achieved without any flavourings? Seriously impressive! A perfect taste of summer on a spoon, delicious! GTA judges

Stem Ginger & Rhubarb
A marriage made in heaven?

Epic & amazing. James Martin
A refreshing rhubarb ice, with a home-made look and great flavour. Refreshing & tasty. GTA Judges

These two flavours represent a successful and long-lasting culinary marriage. The juxtaposition of tart and sweet has been well-served by this combo over the generations (ref; Mrs Beeton onward) and is, indeed, a divine union, here expressed at its apogee. It is an ideal and intense pairing for the erudite palate but might need a wide berth from ginger-haters among us. It is a Marmite flavour, after all. Either love it, or hate it. Well, no. In blind taste tests*, self-confessed ginger-loathers admitting to loving this taste. Perhaps it should be called Ginger and Rhubarb surprise? Delicious, tangy and lush, all in one go.

(*NB: this was merely an informal, blind taste test among family and friends)

Damson
No plum-duffer this!

Beautiful bright colour & creamy texture.  The flavour is very well balanced, with the sharpness from the fruit cutting through the rich creaminess.  An intense floral flavour that is unmistakenly damson. A delicious, natural and homemade-tasting dessert. GTA Judges

It’s an unadulterated humdinger of an ice with perfumed, succulent and dense fruitiness. Richness on the palate is followed by a gentle bitterness of the farewell. This is a joyful expression of fruit and, as such, should always be enjoyed on its own (or maybe matched with a decent, noble-rotted dessert wine). Damson, when ripe like this, has a dazzling intensity interwoven with a hint of herbaceous lusciousness and a neat note of sour. Top marks.

Gooseberry & Elderflower
Taste the English countryside

The most fabulous tasting gooseberry ice cream – so pure, fresh, fruity & delicious.  A fresh and fragrant ice cream with lovely floral notes – summertime in an ice cream! GTA Judges

Something about this union of flavours must be sanctified within ancient lore of the English countryside. We all know these tastes, they are a Baby Boomer’s rite of passage, part of growing up in Blighty. Aromas and flavours of great character and purity, no less; say “gooseberry, think “fool”; say “elderflower”, think “wine” or “cordial”. Yet this cream-ice is not a fool, more a rich, concentrated and delightfully granular, full-fruited ice (with a mere hint of elderflower hiding in the undergrowth). The balance is a tricky one but brilliantly attained, giving perfect poise between sweetness and penetrating acidity. This stuff has rare and matchless flavours and is perfect for all occasions. Beware, however, the midriff monster; this is the most moreish matter known to man.

Pear & Vanilla
A daring pairing

Pleasingly rich and creamy with a light mouthfeel, the pear flavours are delicate and sweet and very up front, moving into vanilla notes which linger on the palate. GTA Judges

Okay, anyone attempting to make a pear ice-cream will often come a cropper when it comes to flavour intensity, yet a daring pairing with vanilla brings a much fuller, fatter, more-rounded-and-refined flavour.  Definitely not an every-day style, this is a far more creamy, dinner-party ice which needs to be languorously savoured. Perfect match for a honeyed bottle of late-picked Coteaux du Layon, the sweet wine of Anjou. Calorific heaven, waistline hell. Hey, who cares?

Raspberry
The rock 'n' roll ripple

Pretty and pink with a lovely fresh raspberry flavour. It is light in texture and yet luxuriously creamy at the same time. Hard to stop eating this Yum! GTA Judges

Fruit cream-ice with attitude, and not a frivolous one at that. Authentic, fresh raspberry pulsates with gutsy rhythm on the tongue – and the beat is rock ‘n’ roll, not waltz. Yet the farewell on the palate is lingering, lush and elegant. Tongue-creasing, over-sugared raspberry ripple this isn’t. More please.

Strawberry
Your new best friend

A fresh strawberry fragrance that smells of summer.  The judges enjoyed the strong, natural, and balanced flavours of strawberry & ceam. Pleasingly nostalgic.  GTA Judges

When did you last describe strawberry ice-cream as juicy, dynamic and vigorous? Never? The most common description is “er, pink”. But Alder Tree has worked its magic on this flavour. It is full of personality with a high-impact taste, despite its deceptively light colour. Mouth-watering yet cleansing all in one go. Stunning, and even better with a glass of pink fizz.

Summer Berries
The 3 (well 4) musketeers

We enjoyed everything about this simple ice cream: the colour, the creaminess, the meld of fruit, the retrained sweetness, the bright but gentle acidity gibing a sense of fresh berries, the clean, uncloying finish. Creamy yet brightly refreshing. GTA judges

If you’re ever short of ideas for a pudding on a summer’s day, here is a sure-fire solution. Any day, any meal, in fact. The merger of strawberry, blackberry, blackcurrant and plum is a veritable musketeer fusion – “all for one, and one for all”. This complex, rich, full-flavoured cream-ice has subtle nuances (and pieces) of each tangy fruit in every spoonful. The backbeat drive of fully-ripe plum is markedly joyous. Gold stars all round, please.

Toffee Apple
More than a one night stand

The taste of English orchards - lovely appley flavours with not too much toffee.  An usual and most appreciated dessert. GTA Judges

A brilliant and cheerful children’s special (although selfish adults may beg to differ), this fun, creamy ice has a charming personality. The lively tartness of Bramley apple combines with golden syrup and crunchy toffee in a chewy explosion on the palate like a dazzling firework (no, not literally). It’s just one of those whacky ideas that work. Exuberant, expressive and joyfully excessive. Don’t leave children alone with this – there’ll be none left for you.

Mouth watering? In need of a stockist?

Vanilla
Underrated outsider, worth a flutter

A classic  ‘old fashioned’ vanilla ice cream, well executed and beautifully balanced to remind the judges of the simple joy of this product. Delightfully cream, entirely uncloying, with gently, clean vanilla flavour. Lovely. GTA Judges

A huge, concentrated hit of vanilla gives authenticity to one of life’s real-but-rare miracles – genuine vanilla cream-ice with astounding intensity. The bland and insipid tastelessness of many vanilla offerings is swept aside when contrasted to this, the muscular, real deal. Its reviving pungency is hallmarked by potent crème-brulee notes and lush mouthfeel. Vanilla –ice cream, at its best, is a much underrated treat. This is it. Indulge generously.

Belgium Chocolate
Indulgently Chocolatey

Lovely smooth texture, with a rich, creamy mouthfeel. There is a gentle blend of chocolate and  a good level of sweetness, in balance with the chocolate. GTA Judges 

Christmas Cream Ice
A yuletide … indeed, any tide

Wonderful Christmas pudding flavours, this ice cream is smooth and has an almost baked apple Christmas flavour, we liked the fruit pieces too. Creamy & tasty.  GTA judges

An offering that should elicit squeals of delight to equal a snow storm on Christmas Day. Those yelps, however, should be adult-only as this ambitious and generous Christmas-pudding-style ice has hefty cinnamon flavours and a decent hit of brandy. Not for the squeamish or the humbug brigade, this is full, rich and voluptuously fruity stuff with an intense texture that rolls on the tongue like a carpet tumbling downstairs. Fill that freezer and deck the halls …

P.S. It’s worth keeping an eye out for regular new lines or seasonal specials that we introduce every year...

because we think it’s only right that we never take your taste buds for granted.
