Starbucks to offer super-premium ice cream
Starbucks Coffee Company has partnered with British food giant Unilever to deliver a range of super-premium ice cream.
The range will be made available to US grocers nationwide, as well as gain significant distribution in convenience stores and other mass retailers by early spring.
“We want consumers to enjoy the Starbucks experience on their terms – in our stores, on the go or at home – through a variety of food and beverage offerings,” said John Culver, president of Starbucks Global Consumer Products, Starbucks Foodservice and Seattle’s Best Coffee. “We’re pleased to introduce the new Starbucks ice cream line in collaboration with a partner that shares our passion for innovation and our core values.”
The super-premium ice cream will retail for about $3.99 a pint and will be available in four flavours:
- Caramel Macchiato – swirled coffee and vanilla ice creams with ribbons of golden caramel.
- Mocha Frappuccino – swirled coffee and chocolate ice creams.
- Java Chip Frappuccino – coffee ice cream with dark chocolate chunks.
- Coffee – swirled coffee and espresso ice creams.
In addition to ice cream, the two companies are offering novelty bars in two flavours, mocha and coffee, retailing at $2.49.
Unilever and Starbucks already partner on the distribution of Starbucks’ Tazo tea products.
