In a stiff competition, Chapman’s Salty Caramel Crunch ice cream came first at the International Ice Cream Consortium (IICC) conference. This year’s conference of industry leaders was held in Florence, Italy and hosted 108 delegates from 13 countries.
In this much anticipated international ice cream blind tasting competition, members nominated their best caramel ice cream product to be judged by peers. Members voted for the top product according to specific criteria including overall taste, creaminess, and visual appearance. Chapman’s Super Premium Plus Salty Caramel Crunch ice cream took a solid lead and was proudly recognized as the best caramel ice cream.
“I am extremely proud that our peers from around the world voted for our ice cream to be the best of the best. It was not an easy competition with so many outstanding ice cream products participating,” said Ashley Chapman, the Chief Operating Officer at Chapman’s.
Selling on the Canadian market since 2023, Salty Caramel Crunch is Chapman’s best-selling product in a luxury Super Premium Plus line. This indulgent product is a blend of salty caramel ice cream with a ripple of salty caramel sauce, butter toffee pieces and caramel cookie bits. Designed for ultimate caramel lovers, this product is made with 100% Canadian dairy, and natural flavours and colours.
During this year’s conference, The International Ice Cream Consortium presented Chapman’s with two more prestigious awards: Silver in the Best Ice Cream category for the Cherry Cheesecake luxury ice cream and Bronze in the Most Innovative Ice Cream category for their famed Cold Brew Coffee flavour. 
The IICC is an international association of independent ice cream manufacturers, founded in 1986. Chapman’s has been a member of the IICC since 2013.
