Taywell’s Kent Cobnut ice cream

Taywell’s Kent Cobnut ice creamVisitors to this year’s BBC Good Food Show Spring will be among the first to taste a new luxury nut-flavoured ice cream that’s staking its claim to be Britain’s best ever.

Taywell’s Kent Cobnut ice cream is hand-made by blending crushed end-of-season Kent-grown cobnuts (the tastiest) with the finest British milk and cream.

The new ice cream flavour will be making its public debut at the BBC Good Food Show Spring, which takes place at the Bluewater shopping centre from 12-15 April. Kent-based Taywell, the UK’s premier artisan ice cream and sorbet maker, will be exhibiting on stand PK7 at the event.

Taywell’s boss Alastair Jessel said: “We think our new Kent Cobnut ice cream is going to be a massive hit with ice cream lovers. We already make Hazelnut and Pistachio ice cream and they’re really popular. But our Kent Cobnut is the best nut flavoured ice cream I’ve ever tasted. We reckon it could even be the best nut ice cream in the country!”

Taywell Ice Creams are handmade in Kent from pure Wealden milk and cream and the freshest fruit and ingredients. They contain no added preservatives or ‘e’ numbers, no artificial additives, colours, stabilisers, no milk powder or reconstituted whey and no GM products. Taywell Ice Creams and Sorbets are available from leading food shops and restaurants in London, Kent, Sussex and Surrey, nationwide from Costco stores and to order online at: www.taywell.co.uk for delivery across London and the Home Counties.
