Chipper wins 2018 World Dairy Expo

Whitey’s Ice Cream’s classic Chipper was awarded top prize at the 2018 World Dairy Expo in the Ice Cream Sandwich category. The Chipper, which is Chocolate Chip Ice Cream in between two homemade chocolate chip cookies, received a composite score of 99.9, which made it the first-place winner.

This contest, sponsored by the Wisconsin Dairy Products Association, is the only judging contest of its kind in North America, since no other national contest includes all dairy products. Judging was held on August 21-23 at MATC Culinary Arts School in Madison, WI. The winners were announced on October 2 at World Dairy Expo in Madison.

The Daily Meal’s “World’s 50 Best Ice Cream Parlors”

The Daily Meal takes ice cream almost as seriously as we do, and their “talented team of travel and food editors, writers, and contributors who have traveled extensively, taste-testing ice cream in all corners of the world” have named Whitey’s Ice Cream as one of “The World’s 50 Best Ice Cream Parlors“. Whitey’s came in at #17 with some of our new and summer flavors featured.

According to their website, they “started with a list of 150 ice cream parlors and shops and whittled the list down via a scoring system that evaluated establishments based on six factors: recipe and preparation; ingredients (freshness, lack of additives, etc.); taste and texture; originality and creativity; ambiance, service, and experience; and acclaim (critical and overall popularity with locals and visitors alike).”

The news was also featured on the Chicago Tribune (article no longer available).  Stop by any of our locations today for your favorite Whitey’s Ice Cream treat!
