Remember This? Upstate NY Ice Cream Was Named Best in the World in 2022
We have a winner in Upstate New York!
The 2022 World Dairy Expo, the 55th annual edition of the event, is set to take place from Sunday, October 2nd through Friday, October 7th, but the judging has already taken place. Every year, the best dairy products in the world are brought together, and judged against one another, and one submission in each category is given the prestigious title of "Best in the World".
An Upstate New York-based company submitted its ice cream flavors into the World Dairy Expo, and a few of them ended up winning big on the international stage.
Stewart's Shops Popular Flavor Wins First Prize at World Dairy Expo
According to a post on the Stewart's Shops official website, ice cream flavor Peanut Butter Pandemonium has been named the best peanut butter ice cream in the world at the 2022 World Dairy Expo.
The website explains that there were over 1,400 submissions from dairy manufacturers across North America, and of every peanut butter-flavored ice cream that was submitted for judging, Stewart's Shops' rendition has come out on top.
The website also explains the methodology of the judging, as each ice cream submission is rated based on flavor, body and texture, melting quality, appearance and color.
Residents in Upstate New York, as well as parts of Vermont, know full-well that Peanut Butter Pandemonium is a worthy winner of this prize. It is consistently regarded as one of the most popular flavors sold by Stewart's Shops.
