Jurassic Range beginnings

Jurassic Range beginnings

Looking back to a press release from 2017 when we launched the Jurassic Range and had to share…
“…Pete, Owner and Director of Purbeck Ice Cream, originally came up with the concept 10 years ago for what he thought was a fabulous ice cream that embraced the local coastline and rich history of dinosaurs and fossils found along the Jurassic Coast. The concept was that you could carefully dig around a chocolate dinosaur, eating all the Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, before victoriously consuming the revealed (historically accurate) dinosaur. The other Directors Hazel and Patrick laughed at his preposterous idea and proclaimed that it would never work. Every year Pete would bring up the Dig-a-Saurus, and every year Hazel and Patrick would laugh and say no.
That was until the Jurassic Coast Trust got in touch with Purbeck Ice Cream asking if they wanted to be a Lead Partner. Pete’s eyes lit up like a Christmas tree at the thought of his long mocked idea becoming a reality…”
So 6 years on, the Dig-a-Saurus is still a ROAAAARING success and we introduced the Skull-Diggery too. 5p from every tub is being donated to the Jurassic Coast Trust to help conserve, protect and educate people about the Jurassic World Heritage Coastline.

Have you enjoyed one of the 125ml tubs from the Jurassic Range? (also available now in home delivery)
Dig-a-Saurus – Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with a milk chocolate Megalosaurus or Brachiosaurus Dinosaur and a smattering of Trilobites. 
Skull-Diggery – Chocolate Ice Cream with white chocolate dinosaur skulls and bones.
