Caramelised hazelnut scoops Great Taste Golden Fork for fifth generation ice cream parlour

On Sunday 17 October, the Great Taste Golden Fork from Northern Ireland was presented to Morelli Ice Cream from Coleraine, Derry, for its Morelli's Caramelised Hazelnut Ice Cream. Sponsored by Invest NI, the trophy for best food or drink from Northern Ireland was announced at the Great Taste Golden Fork Reception at the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate, as the largest and most trusted food and drink awards on the planet reached its exciting finale. 

Out of 218 Great Taste 3-star award-winning products to be re-judged to find this year’s Golden Fork Trophy winners and the Great Taste Supreme Champion 2021, this rich and smooth ice cream with a deep bosky hazelnut flavour was one of 13 products to pick up the coveted trophy for their respective country or region.  

Now operated by the fifth generation of the Morelli family, these small batch ice cream makers still use fresh double cream and butter from cows grazing on the lush green pastures of the Causeway coast. Toffee brown in colour and super creamy, this Caramelised Hazelnut Ice Cream is made with Ballyrashane Creamery’s Irish Double Cream, hazelnuts from Piedmonte in Italy and swirls of caramelised hazelnut nibs and a salted caramel variegato.
