Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) added three new flavors to its line of extra creamy Premium Ice Cream – Neapolitan, Orange and Cream and Campfire Peanut Butter Cup.
Here are the flavors:
Neapolitan: It created its own version of the delicious trifecta staple, featuring three classic Tillamook flavors: Old Fashioned Vanilla, Oregon Strawberry (with chunks of real strawberry), and a new take on its Chocolate ice cream, now with an added chocolate ripple.
Orange and Cream: This nostalgic flavor is around for a limited time only, bringing together orange and sweet cream ice creams into one satisfying scoop reminiscent of the ol' 50/50 bars of your youth.
Campfire Peanut Butter Cup: Each bite of this limited-edition flavor will have you dreaming of summer camp outs under the stars. Indulge your senses with toasted marshmallow ice cream swirled with rich fudge and dotted with mini chocolatey peanut butter cups.
"When looking at our premium ice cream roster, we saw a flavor gap and knew just how to round it out by adding to our lineup of flavors. Research showed us that nostalgia is a key ice cream trend for 2023. Knowing consumers are looking for reimagined classics helped lead us to our new flavors, which we anticipate will leave folks hankering for one more bite," said Ian Moppert, Ice Cream Scientist, TCCA. "We can't wait for fans to taste our new limited-edition flavors while keeping an eye out for even more goodness this coming holiday season (spoiler alert!)."
The new ice cream flavor additions come during a period of rapid growth for TCCA's ice cream, which grew nearly 35% in 2022. In March, the Oregon-based dairy co-op expanded its footprint with the purchase of its first ice cream manufacturing plant outside of Oregon, in Decatur, Illinois to better serve eastern states and reach even more new fans.
"At Tillamook, we take great pride in doing things the right way. Our ice cream, like all our products, is made with the highest quality of ingredients, and you can really taste the difference," continues Moppert. "We make our ice cream with no shortcuts and it tastes better because it's made better. With more cream, every bite is smooth and dreamy."
