Equi’s Ice Cream has picked up four 5-Star ratings at this year’s Ice Cream Alliance Golden Scoop Awards.
The Glasgow-based company secured the top rating for Strawberry Ripple, Belgian Chocolate, Vegan Oat Milk Pistachio, and White Chocolate, Pomegranate & Pistachio.
Held in Birmingham, the awards were relaunched this year under the Golden Scoop brand. A 5-Star rating is awarded only to entries achieving at least 95% of the top score in their class.
David Equi, CEO of Equi’s Ice Cream, said, “To achieve four 5-Star ratings at the new Golden Scoop awards is an incredible honour. A 5-Star award represents ice cream performing at 95% or more of the top score in its class, so to do that four times in one year and across different flavour categories is testament to the passion and precision our team brings to every batch.
“We are especially proud that our Vegan Pistachio, made using Brose Scottish oat milk, stood shoulder to shoulder with our dairy ranges. It reflects how seriously we take flavour, texture and locally sourced ingredients across every recipe we develop.”
Catherine McNeil, Director of Operations at the Ice Cream Alliance, said, “The Golden Scoop Awards represent the highest standards of judging in our industry and achieving a 5-Star rating is a significant accomplishment. With entries needing to reach at least 95% of the top score in their class, these awards recognise products that truly excel in flavour, texture and overall quality. As the inaugural year of the Golden Scoop Awards, results like this help set the benchmark for ice cream excellence across the UK, and Equi’s success across multiple categories is a fantastic example of that standard in action.”
Equi’s continues to build on more than a century of family expertise as it expands its footprint across retail, foodservice and major venue partnerships, combining Italian-Scottish heritage with modern production at its solar-powered dairy in Rutherglen.
