New JWEL Royalties - Chocolate Orange, Peanut Butter and Honey

I was being introduced to JWEL Ice Cream  in April last year. Since then, I was hooked to JWEL Ice Cream. I love the velvety smooth taste of JWEL, the thick, almond-flecked chocolate coating and the variety of flavours, making it an luxurious indulgence for everyday treat. It is indeed a royal indulgence.

To celebrate JWEL’s first year milestone in Singapore, the royal court welcomes its newest royal members who promise to charm and delight the taste buds of JWEL’s ever-growing following. With the same goodness that fascinated the nation’s palate, all eyes are now set on the newest additions to JWEL’s delicious royals.

JWEL introduced 3 new flavours to the royal courts. They are:

- The Baroness of Chocolate Orange 

- The Marquis of Peanut Butter

- Her Highness of Honey

Each vividly patterned ice cream wrapper bears a golden crown, the title of its creator and unique motifs that hold subtle clues to their flavours and places of origin. Each regal stick of JWEL ice cream offers a luxurious, immersive experience of scrumptious decadence and intriguing imagination. 

The Baroness of Chocolate Orange

Why have one enchanting flavour when you can have two? 

Now you can enjoy the rich chocolate and Valencia Oranges all at the same time. The Baroness of Chocolate Orange’s will intrigue the senses with delicately rich chocolate ice cream with a hint of citrus like no other. 

Her Highness of Honey

Her Highness of Honey buzzes around busily collecting honey from the beehives in her palace gardens. 

It is sumptuously velvety, enticing ice cream lovers with her precious honey she reserves only for the most deserving palates.

Her Highness of Honey was the first flavour I tried among the three. It appealed to me the most because I love honey.

The taste resembles vanilla ice-cream with a hinge of honey that is not too overpowering. The sweetness of the honey tasted just right

The Marquis of Peanut Butter

The Marquis spends hours perfecting the balance of salty and sweet in every spoonful of his heavenly peanut butter, which he serves in ornate pots of pure gold.

The Marquis of Peanut Butter exudes extravagance with his perfect creamy and nutty ice cream that is sure to gratify the taste buds. 

My second stick was The Marquis of Peanut Butter.

Prior to trying, I didn't think very highly about peanut butter. In my mind, I was thinking that "hmm, peanut butter flavour sounds weird. Will it taste like the peanut butter jam I used for bread?"

To my surprise, it didn't taste anything like the jam. It tasted like the peanut of ferrero rocher. Very delicate, rich and delicious. I love it so much, this has become my favourite flavour.

I couldn't resist eating.

With the 3 new flavours, JWEL, The Ice Cream Empire has a total of 8 flavours now:

- The Duke of Vanilla 

- The Countess of Tiramisu 

- The Duchess of Double Chocolate 

- The Earl of Caramel 

- The Baron of Black Forest 

- The Baroness of Chocolate Orange NEW 

- The Marquis of Peanut Butter NEW 

- Her Highness of Honey NEW

These three newly minted flavours are now available in single serves for $2.70 per stick at selected general retail stores and $2.95 per stick at selected 7-Eleven outlets. 

These delectable flavours are also available in a multipack of six at a retail price of $10.90 at major supermarkets and hypermarkets in the following variants: 

- Chocolate Orange 

- Honey and Peanut Butter (3 sticks per flavour)

Thank you F&N Creameries Singapore‏ for the sweet indulgence.

F&N Creameries Singapore‏ Royal Treat - JWEL Ice Cream

Received a sweet royal treat from F&N Creameries Singapore which brightened up my day.

F&N is a household brand that we are all familiar with. F&N Creameries Singapore has introduced The Ice Cream Empire, JWEL, a worthy dessert that is an indulgence fit for royals.

JWEL introduces five fascinating nobles, each representing a distinctively delicious, premium ice cream treat:
- Vanilla
- Tiramisu
- Double Chocolate
- Caramel 
- Black Forest

Ice cream lovers can now enjoy the taste of royalty with JWEL. Each regal stick of JWEL ice cream offers a luxurious, immersive experience of delicious decadence and intriguing imagination.

Before I introduced you to the different flavour of the ice-cream, let me tell you a story of  JWEL:

The legend of JWEL is a tale as old as time, with plots and twists as thick and delicious as each creamy bite. The depth and complexity of each royalty mirrors the intensely sophisticated taste of the JWEL royal ice cream. Each vividly patterned ice cream wrapper bears a golden crown, the title of its creator and unique motifs that hold subtle clues to their flavours and places of origin.

Meet The Decadent Duke of Vanilla, The Curvaceous Countess of Tiramisu, The Delectable Duchess of Double Chocolate, The Extravagant Earl of Caramel and The Brazen Baron of the Black Forest.

Each member of the ice cream aristocracy is unique in his or her right, having their own quirky personalities and curious idiosyncrasies.

The colourful stories of the JWEL Royals are told on each ice cream wrappers. Let's see what are the stories.

The Countess of Tiramisu

She’s Italian. 

She’s irresistible. 

She’s got va va voom. 

The Curvaceous Countess expertly embraces the most distinctive coffee flavours with the very finest chocolate to create a sensually creamy experience.

Each stick is coated in thick, almond-flecked chocolate.
Nothing beats having a stick of JWEL on a hot sunny day.

The Countess of Tiramisu is rich and flavourful, it has a perfect combination of coffee and chocolate flavour.

The Duchess of Double Chocolate

They say The Delectable Duchess eats her devilishly indulgent Double Chocolate with diamond-studded dessert spoons. While her subjects eat cake, she covets hazelnuts like they are priceless jewels. In fact the only thing nuttier than the Duchess is her ice cream.

Chocolate lovers gonna love this. 

Double chocolate, double happiness. The chocolate ice-cream is coated with a layer thick, almond-flecked chocolate. Double shiokness. 

The Earl of Caramel

The Extravagant Earl spares no expense in his pursuit of perfect indulgence. They say this eccentric lordship uses pots and pans of gold and silver to create the sweetest drops of heaven ever seen in the entire empire.

The signature caramel aroma will cloak in a melt-in-your-mouth with almond-crusted chocolate shell.

The Baron of the Black Forest

The Brazen Baron plucks young cherries from the forest and presents them to the village maidens. With his deep passion for the darkest chocolate in the realm, the Baron will tempt you with the very best of the Black Forest.

The Duke of Vanilla

The Decadent Duke has flair, finesse and a certain élan. His gowns are sewn from the finest satin. His cloaks are lined with gold thread. He bathes in milk scented with the finest vanilla essence and he brushes his teeth with pearl dust.

The JWEL royals are well-loved because they know how to satiate their subjects. With the help of their mischievous, fun-loving and ever resourceful Jesters, the perfected sweet creations from the wondrous range are now available for everyone to savour. 

Look out for the JWEL Royal Booth when they make their appearances at hyper/supermarkets and selected 7-Eleven stores for the public to sample the JWEL Vanilla flavoured ice cream.

With courtesy of the JWEL royalties, ride in luxury on a free shuttle service along Orchard Road on Saturdays and Sundays for 4 weekends starting from 12 April 2014, 2pm to 6pm. The special rides are decked with golden fabric and designed to look like a grand hall, complete with Class 95 DJs and JWEL Jesters on deck to entertain the crowd.

Win a Trip to Stay in a Castle! 

A lucky consumer will win the opportunity to live in a castle. Between July and August 2014, F&N Creameries Singapore will hold a lucky draw contest affording the top winner a once-in-a-lifetime experience of staying in a real life, medieval castle. Specifics of the contests will be announced shortly. 

Where to Find JWEL Ice Cream Sticks?

The JWEL royal range is available at a suggested retail price of S$2.95 per stick in selected 7- Eleven stores. These enjoyable treats are also available in four-stick multipacks in all hyper/supermarkets for a suggested retail price of S$9.80.
