The Isle of Wight Ice Cream Company and Minghella are now working together, pooling expertise and collaborating on their different ice cream brands. Both products will be made at the Isle of Wight Ice Cream’s state of the art ice cream manufacturing facility based at Riverway, Newport. Gioia Minghella and her husband, Richard, have been working with Jenny Simmons and her team at Isle of Wight Ice Cream Company to ensure their 230 flavours of gourmet ice cream are made to their authentic Italian recipes. Both brands will be using fresh milk from Read’s Farm in Carisbrooke.
Delivery logistics of both businesses will improve too. Medina Foodservice already offers a daily delivery service for Isle of Wight Ice Cream across the Isle of Wight and the South Coast, with Minghella Ice Cream also being available through Medina too, reducing food miles significantly.
Gioia Minghella said “We are absolutely delighted about this. It’s wonderful to work with Jenny and her team in their fantastic production facility with its state of the art equipment, and we are thrilled that Medina Foodservice will now handle all the distribution. It means the Minghella brand, famous for its artisan expertise and gourmet credentials, can only go from strength to strength.”
