Cold Gold Artisan Ice Cream was launched in November 2011 by qualified chef, Janine Van Zyl. Janine achieved her Grande Diploma in Culinary Studies and Wine from the Prue Leith Chef Academy in Pretoria with a distinction. She worked at the Mount Nelson- and Twelve Apostles – Hotel under the highly respected chefs, Rudi Liebenberg and Henrico Grobbelaar respectively. Working alongside these chefs served as more inspiration for her intense love of culinary arts and strive to create the best and most sensational culinary creations possible.
She identified a need for an ice cream that is 100% natural, free of preservatives, chemicals and artificial additives. All that was left to do was to add a bit of passion, a dash of perfection, a tablespoon of dedication and a big chunk of love to the production of artisan ice creams and sorbets. And so Cold Gold was born.
Should you ever wonder what gold tastes like; you are able to taste a version of it in the form of the most delicious ice creams and sorbets in a pot of gold. Janine’s passion, strive for perfection and love for her ice cream is evident in the first taste, leaving you wanting more.
