Dairy-free Premium Healthy Ice Cream Sees Plenty Of Early Retail Traction Since Launch
Following a successful launch in 2011, Bessant & Drury's Fine Ice-Cream Company is gaining impetus in the market, with more than 80 listings in the UK, committing also to a number of trade and consumer shows.
Recent listings include WholeFoods in London and Glasgow, Planet Organic, As Nature Intended, Partridge's in London and the renown Sunny Foods in Brighton.
With the taste, texture and appearance of a premium ice-cream the product is proving popular amongst both dairy and dairy-free audiences, keen not to compromise on taste.
Since its launch in June last year the product, which comes in four flavours (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and lemon) has been taken on by retailers in London, the South East, South West, East Anglia, Yorkshire, Humberside, Wales and Scotland. An extensive sampling programme is significantly supporting sales whilst a broad exhibition calendar for 2012 includes presence at Hotelympia, Vitality, BBC Good Food Show, Speciality Fine Food Fair, Lunch! and more.
Targeting both the premium market and the increasing demands for dairy free products, it is the only coconut milk based ice-cream in the UK, enjoying all of the health benefits of the super-food coconut, with no additives, colourings or preservatives and using real fruit. Different from other dairy free desserts, Bessant & Drury enjoys a creaminess only associated with traditional ice-cream.
Poised to announce a nationwide retailer, 2012 will also see an extension of the four flavours.
The brand was developed just 18 months ago when Steve Bessant starting experimenting in his kitchen at home with a borrowed ice-cream maker, because as one of Britain's leading health experts Steve is regularly advising clients who have food allergies, intolerances and sensitivities. With the number of people affected with dairy intolerances on the rise, Steve advises on healthy foods to consume, of which coconut plays a major part. Along with friend Ian he started to experiment with recipes and ingredients which led to their ultimate vision.
"Our vision is to become a preferred choice for ice-cream lovers regardless of its dairy-free status. The product is aimed at the mainstream, premium market, with its superior taste and positioning all setting the scene for a luxury dessert," he says.
Taywell, the luxury ice cream and sorbet maker, has officially gone nationwide for the first time after winning a listing with wholesaler Costco.
The Kent-based company, which recently won a 'Q' Quality Food Award, is initially supplying Costco with its popular Honeycomb ice cream in one-litre tubs, with other ice cream and sorbet variants set to follow soon.
Taywell and Costco are also poised to work in partnership to develop innovative flavours exclusively for sale in Costco's 22 warehouses across Britain.
The new supply contract with Taywell means that Costco will now be able to offer its members an artisan, premium quality ice cream manufactured in the UK. Taywell will support the new listing with regular tastings in all branches of Costco.
Alastair Jessel, Managing Director of Taywell, said: "This deal with Costco is great news for us because it means that, for the first time, Taywell-branded ice cream will be available across the country.
"But it's also fantastic news for Costco's customers, who now have access to premium ice cream made in Britain, rather than imported from overseas. Right now, quality and provenance are two of the major trends in ice cream - and indeed food - and we really do tick both boxes."
The contract with Costco caps a highly successful year for Taywell. Despite the economic downturn, the company increased sales of its premium ice creams and sorbets by 65% in the last financial year, and has doubled employee numbers.
It is forecast to increase its turnover by more than 100% in the current year, and to keep pace with this growth is looking to build another kitchen at its headquarters in Paddock Wood.
Alastair Jessel said: "We're well on the way to achieving our aim, which is to become the UK's favourite artisan ice cream and sorbet brand - one that ice cream and sorbet lovers return to again and again because they know there is no other product out there as good as ours."
