IceDelight is a fruity, fat-free iced dessert made from fresh Scottish fruits hand-picked on the family farm in East Lothian.
Made using a secret Italian recipe and churned to give a rich creamy texture, IceDelight is delicious but also unbelievably fat free, dairy free and gluten free.
All of the flavours keep all the vitamin and antioxidant properties of real fruit and can even be counted as one of your 'five-a-day'!
The IceDelight freezer has been touring the country this summer visiting events and exhibitions all over Scotland and further south, and the produce was formally launched last month.
The team is 'ice-delighted' that the strawberry and blackcurrant flavours have been awarded two Great Taste Awards gold stars this year, and the lemon one star, adding to the gold star that the raspberry already holds.
The Great Taste Awards, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, are now in their 18th year and going from strength to strength.
Some 7481 products were entered from 1600 companies for the 2011 Great Taste Awards, taking 350 experts 34 days to blind taste all the entries and decide which entries would achieve the coveted one, two and three star Gold awards.
The Great Taste Awards judging standards, devised by the Guild of Fine Food, are the most rigorous in the UK. To achieve the three-star rating a minimum of 20 - more often 30 - judges need to be in complete agreement that the food delivered that indefinable "wow" factor.
