Chapman’s wins international ice cream competition

Chapman’s Salty Caramel Crunch ice cream came first at the International Ice Cream Consortium (IICC) conference at Florence, Italy.

It beat competitors from 13 countries who submitted their entries for caramel ice creams.



“I am extremely proud that our peers from around the world voted for our ice cream to be the best of the best. It was not an easy competition with so many outstanding ice cream products participating,” said Ashley Chapman, the chief pperating officer for the family-owned business at Markham.



Salty Caramel Crunch is Chapman’s best-selling product in a luxury Super Premium Plus line. It is a blend of salty caramel ice cream with a ripple of salty caramel sauce, butter toffee pieces and caramel cookie bits. 


Chapman’s also won second in the Best Ice Cream category for the Cherry Cheesecake luxury ice cream and third in the Most Innovative Ice Cream category for their famed Cold Brew Coffee flavour.


At one time Chapman’s struggled to grow because the Ontario Milk Marketing Board rationed milk supplies to processors.
