Yes, I think the cream was whipped. It was just so
fresh unlike the "fresh" cream in South Korea. When I was a kid, milk came in glass bottles (all the better to have a sneak drink directly from the cold bottle, shhhhh! don't tell my mum) and cream came in a small glass bottle (1/2 pint?).
I looked up NZ ice cream to look for a particular brand, couldn't find it, but did come across this:
At 23 litres per capita per annum, New Zealanders are amongst the biggest eaters of ice cream in the world, and most recent figures put us at the very top, ahead of Australia and the USA. Ice cream and edible ices account for about $1 of every $44 spent on food by New Zealand households (Statistics New Zealand). And, ...
ice Cream is defined as a sweet frozen food made from cream or milk products or both, and other foods, generally aerated, and consisting of not less than 100g/kg of milk fat, and not less than 168g/litre of food solids. (Standard 2.5.6) I think this is a big reason why NZ ice cream is so good.
Supreme Award for a Boutique Manufacturer this year was awarded to an entry in the Gelato category. The winning entry was Salted Caramel Gelato made by Takapuna Beach Café and Store. The judges were impressed with the ability to balance the sweet flavour of caramel with just enough sea salt to enhance the overall combination of flavours in this gelato. Takapuna Beach Café and Store also won the Supreme Award last year for their Coconut & Lime Curd Gelato.
