Where can you find Aotearoa’s most delicious scoop? The 2024 winners of the country’s prized Ice Cream & Gelato Awards have been revealed. This year’s winners of the NZ Ice Cream & Gelato Awards have been announced, and both champions hail from the City of Sails . With 19 awards on offer at a cocktail party in Auckland last night, the annual event saw frozen dessert companies throughout Aotearoa submit entries.

Acclaimed chef Geoff Scott led a panel of 20 judges in tasting more than 230 ice creams and gelatos at the end of last month. They then awarded 169 gold, silver and bronze medals to the successful makers. The winners were celebrated at last night’s event, with frozen treats from Matakana (Charlies Gelato) to Queenstown (Patagonia Chocolates) vying for a top spot.
