I was terribly disappointed last year to hear that the iconic Western Australian ice cream Peters had been sold to Nestle. They shut down some of our favourite treats, including the Peters Trumpet (to make way for the inferior Nestle Peters Drumstick, soggy eh!) and CHOC WEDGE!! and shifted production of the Connoisseur range to the Eastern States. There went my local ice cream treat!
We do not eat ice cream that often, so it was nice to be able to buy a locally made, reasonable quality product.
I have since switched my take home allegience to il gelato. They have many different flavours of gelati and sorbets.
Gelato is a wonderful product, generally made from milk rather than cream (hence ice cream) and has a nice and smooth texture. If you ever go to Italy you have to experience real gelati. Yum!
It is $13.95 for a 1L tub of il gelato at my local corner store Scutti's. It is not a cheap treat! That is about twice what we were paying for a litre of Connoisseur (before it went Nestle). Our last tub was Ferrero flavoured, and now we are sampling Vanilla bean.
