Four wins,

Highest Scoring Ice Cream

Nordenfine Salted Caramel

Judged blind against entries from dairies right across the country, our Salted Caramel came out on top of the field — the same recipe and small-batch process we've used since 1999.

  • Highest score of any ice cream entered nationally
  • Judged on flavour, texture and consistency
  • Made fresh in our Torquay kitchen

Highest Scoring Frozen Yoghurt

Nordenfine Raspberry & Finger Lime Yoghurt

Our Raspberry & Finger Lime Yoghurt took the top score in its category too, recognising the same attention to real ingredients and honest recipes that goes into everything we make.

  • Highest score of any frozen yoghurt entered nationally
  • A newer addition to our range, made to the same standard
  • Available across all three of our stores

Highest Scoring Frozen Product

Nordenfine Salted Caramel

Judged against every frozen dairy product entered across the whole show — not just ice cream — our Salted Caramel took the single highest score of any frozen product on the day.

  • Top overall score across all frozen categories
  • The same Salted Caramel that won Highest Scoring Ice Cream
  • Made fresh in our Torquay kitchen

Highest Scoring Product Containing Natural Flavours and Colours

Nordenfine Salted Caramel

This category recognises products made without artificial flavours or colours — exactly how we've always made our Salted Caramel, with real ingredients and nothing else.

  • Top score among products using only natural flavours and colours
  • No artificial additives, same as it's always been
  • The same Salted Caramel behind two other wins this year
What this means

Same ice cream, same recipe

These awards don't change anything about how we make our ice cream and frozen yoghurt — they're confirmation of it. The same small-batch process, the same real ingredients, and the same recipes we've been using since 1999 are what earned all four top scores. Come try what the judges tasted, at any of our three stores along the Great Ocean Road.
