Mackie's of Scotland Toffee Fudge Ice Cream is the latest addition to the brand's flavor portfolio that's perfect for shoppers in the UK to pick up this summer when in search of a satisfyingly decadent dessert.
The ice cream is crafted on the Mackie farm in Aberdeenshire using fresh milk from its own dairy cows, while a toffee swirl flavor is created thanks to a new sauce machine that allows for in-house production with no outsourcing. The ice cream is being launched at Tesco locations in Scotland as well as at Ocado locations in England and Wales.
Development Director Kristin McNutt commented on the Mackie's of Scotland Toffee Fudge Ice Cream saying, "When developing the product, we gathered numerous amounts of data on trends, supplier ideas and market gap analysis, and ended up with a host of different flavour ideas. We narrowed it down to five flavour concepts, and our research found toffee fudge to be by far the most popular.”
