Season 5 of TVNZ’s A New Zealand Food Story with Ben Bayly went live this month and we are stoked to be a part of it! We share a bit of behind the scenes in the gelato kitchen with Ben Bayly, and also showcase our latest collaboration with award-winning Auckland Restaurant Ahi, launching an elevated twist on the Raspberry Lamington.

Seeing our gelato featured alongside some of New Zealand's best food stories was incredibly special for our team!
About the collaboration
Now on the menu at Ahi Restaurant is our Raspberry Lamington gelato in a form unlike any other. Introducing the Summer Berry Lamington dessert!
Summer Berry Lamington
Little 'Lato Raspberry Lamington gelato + Clevedon strawberries + macadamia + Zeelong Earl Grey & whiskey + meringue
This idea originated after Ben Bayly’s family tried our gelato at our partnership store in Hahei Beach. Ben loved the nostalgia of our gelato, and thought a dessert reimagining a Kiwi classic would fit in well with locals and tourists visiting Ahi Restaurant. Book in during the evening service and watch them set your dessert alight in front of your eyes!

The Raspberry Lamington Gelato
For those who haven’t tried it, our Raspberry Lamington gelato is a twist on the classic Kiwi cake.
We take fresh raspberries and blitz them into a coconut gelato base, creating a bright raspberry & coconut gelato that tastes so much like a lamington that it’s crazy. Find this flavour scooping up regularly in our parlour locations in Auckland, Hamilton & Waipu.
