With temperatures soaring and few things as refreshing and indulgent as ice cream, Country Range has introduced two delicious new flavours designed to help caterers delight guests throughout the summer season.
Available immediately in time for the warmer weather and National Ice Cream Day on 19th July, the latest additions to the Country Range portfolio include Salted Caramel and White Vanilla. Supplied in 4-litre tubs in cases of six, the new launches are ideal for a wide range of hospitality and catering settings.
Whether served in cones, layered between wafers or presented in bowls, these rich and creamy ice creams are set to become standout additions to summer menus. Perfect for desserts, treats and grab-and-go offerings, they provide caterers with a versatile and crowd-pleasing solution.
Far more than a seasonal staple, the flavour-packed duo are also ideal for creating premium milkshakes – an affordable indulgence continuing to grow in popularity across the hospitality and catering sectors all year round.
Rachel Porter, Own Brand Manager at the Country Range Group, said:
“A poor ice cream offering during the height of summer can leave a lasting impression, so it’s important for caterers to offer flavours that keep customers coming back for more. Our latest additions deliver on both taste and versatility, and we’re confident they’ll become firm favourites with caterers of all sizes – not just in cones during the summer months, but across a wide variety of desserts, shakes and sweet treats year round.”
