A limited-edition range of ice cream flavours from Connoisseur will be in the freezer aisle from August, with flavours inspired by Australian native ingredients.

Under the Peters portfolio of brands, Connoisseur has teamed up with Australian chef Mark Olive for the Australian Native Collection and have drawn on his years of experience for fusing native flavours in an unexpected way.

“The new Connoisseur Australian Native Collection can help Australians become more familiar with ingredients that are unique to our country, which deserve to be tasted and celebrated,” said Olive.

The new range was created to shine a light on local ingredients and place such premium produce “at the forefront of culinary experience”.

“We are excited about the new range and championing local ingredients in a new and unexpected way, highlighting the versatile and delicious flavours,” said Andrea Hamori, Peters head of marketing.

The collection features flavours across two sticks – Wattleseed and Hazelnut, and Wild Hibiscus and Berry – and three 470ml tubs – Macadamia and Spiced Lime, Bush Honey and Nougat, and Davidson Plum and Cocoa.

The Connoisseur Australian Native Collection will be available in stores from 15 August for RRP $10 for a 470mL tub, $8.40 for a multi-pack of 4 sticks and $4.10 for a loose pack stick.
