Good ice cream starts with real cream and careful churning, which gives a smooth, dense texture rather than an icy or airy one. Classic flavours such as vanilla and hokey pokey are the best test, since there is nowhere to hide, while more inventive flavours show a maker's range. For a family or a party, a larger tub is better value, and storing it at the back of the freezer keeps it from softening. Let ice cream sit for a few minutes before scooping, which brings out the flavour, and try a flavour you have not had before.
For Balclutha locals and visitors travelling through South Otago, it is a fun local name behind the Kiwi ice cream tubs.
