Morelli Ice Cream
Morelli’s manufactures more than fifty flavours of ice cream, sorbet and frozen yoghurt at their production plant in Coleraine, Co. Derry. This Italian family distributes their products all over Ireland and still operate their own ice cream parlours on the beautiful North Coast.
Morelli’s ice cream is made using the unique combination of an Italian recipe and Irish dairy ingredients from the famous Ballyrashane Creamery. The best- selling flavours are Double Cream Vanilla and Honeycomb. More unusual flavours include Irish Black Butter, Caramelised Hazelnut, Rhubarb & Custard and Chocolate Caramel Gold. Morellis also makes limited edition seasonal flavours as well as a new range called Two Tone Twist which is two flavours combined in the same tub.
Still very much a family affair, it’s the fourth generation of the family now at the helm. The latest products in the range are a new Vegan and Dairy Free Ice Cream called ‘Libero’ and a new environmentally friendly edible ice cream tub called ‘Ecotub’.
