FoodXervices Inc to introduce premium kuri ice cream

KooriMo nutritious ice cream will be launched at Food and Hotel Asia 2010.

FoodXervices Inc Pte Ltd, a leading food distributor in Singapore, will be introducing the KooriMo brand of premium kuri ice cream at Food and Hotel Asia 2010 in Singapore.

The move makes FoodXervices Inc the first Singapore company to launch its own brand of ice cream in a long while.

“As a Singapore-based company, we are so glad to be able to introduce this product on our home soil. With KooriMo ice cream, Singaporeans can have their fix and nutrition at the same time,” said Nichol Ng, Managing Director of FoodXervices Inc.

Made of kuri (Japanese chestnut), the ice cream is high in dietary fibre, Vitamin C and calcium. It will come in a pack comprising four flavours.

“KooriMo is not your typical ice cream in a tub. Every mini tub of ice cream in our pack is like a sundae with delicious toppings. Produced in Europe, it is made from premium quality milk and comes with yummy chunks of real chestnut paste,” enthused Ms Ng.

FoodXervices Inc plans to build on this introduction and take the KooriMo brand globally so that others around the world can also enjoy the nutritional value of the premium ice cream.

“Though its origin is in Singapore, KooriMo is very much a global product. The chestnuts originate from Japan but are grown on our own plantation in China, and the ice cream is made in Europe,” said Nicholas Ng, Managing Director of FoodXervices Inc.

Trade visitors to the FoodXervices Inc booth at Singapore Expo Hall can get a taste of this premium ice cream, which will be available to the public from June.
