SHOPPERS looking for a taste of the Mediterranean may be in for a treat as Mackie’s of Scotland has released a new-limited edition ice cream with Italian flavour at its heart.
Made using Italian biscotti, Mackie’s Caramel Biscotti flavour is said to have been created following research visits to Italy, where a number of ingredients including the biscotti pieces were sourced.
Kirstin Mackie, development director and one of three sibling owners at the family firm, said: “We’re constantly trying out new combinations and tastes, from our local Buttery and Jam to Caramel Biscotti. There’s an exciting world of flavour combinations still to be discovered.
“Caramel Biscotti proved especially popular at the Royal Highland Show so we began to trial it in the local area and all the surveys came back in a really positive light.
“It’s a seasonal flavour and will only be in stores for a few months however it is likely to become a fixture in our new 19.2 parlour in Aberdeen.”
