Everybody loves ice cream and I am definitely no exception. So far the Selecta Gold series has not disappointed. With its reasonable price, you can have one of the world’s best tasting ice cream.

A short history of Selecta Ice Cream

Many people probably don’t realize that the Selecta ice cream brand started in the 1930s by the Arce family. Through the years, it has become popular in both the Philippines and in Australia. My childhood is mostly peppered with Selecta ice cream memories and that tin can has become synonymous with good quality. Do they still sell Selecta in those tin cans? I remember we make them our “tabo” after we finish the ice cream. They hardly rust!

Chef Ariel Manuel has helped make this ice cream flavor an overnight sensation. Try a tub now!

Just when I thought the old taste of Selecta was lost, here comes Filipino cuisine’s best and spruced up an old favorite. Chefs Gamboa, Laudico and del Rosario have collaborated to give three of most exquisite ice cream flavors available in the local market.

Personally, I’ve always preferred imported ice creams over the local ones because I’ve always found locally made ice cream to be too sweet for my taste and yet, less creamy. Not to mention, I hate strawberry.

However, this strawberry flavor by Selecta was different. I just tried it because there was some in the fridge. To my surprise, it was really good! Not too sweet and very creamy, just the way I like it!

Chef Laudico’s Chocolate Truffles and Chef Del Rosario’s Hazelnut Brownie were winners too, in my book. The Selecta Gold Series is much cheaper than imported ice creams, but the taste is just as good is not better. Not to mention, the price is more affordable.

I have personally dined at Chef Gamboa’s Cirkulo restaurant, as well as it’s sister restaurant, Milky Way. I just LOVE their food and I go back there when I can. Chef Laudico is also a wonderful chef as I have had the privilege of sampling his best at his restaurant Bistro Filipino. Enough reason for me to have a taste of their cooking through the Selecta Gold Series, which is just more accessible and affordable to have as often as I want!

I highly recommend the Gold Series by Selecta. It’s something you should stock up in your fridge. They’re Noreen’s favorite too!
