Supplier Background

Rush Munro’s is a premium ice cream manufacturer founded by Fredrick Charles Rush Munro in 1926 and based in Hawkes Bay.

Today we’re proudly New Zealand’s oldest ice cream maker and still privately owned and operated.
Rush Munro’s consistently produces Gold Medal winning ice creams and was recently awarded The Supreme Award for Boutique Manufacturer at the 2014 NZ Ice cream awards.

Our premium ice cream is 100% natural. We use the best of local ingredients whenever available - and always using real fruit, no colouring or preservatives.

We are proud of our extensive range of iconic flavours. Whether it’s our Passionfruit, Maple & Walnut or Vanilla Bean, you know it will be one to remember. Each batch of ice cream is hand crafted and batch churned to create the beautiful premium ice cream we are known for.
100% natural, 100% delicious

When we say 100% natural, we really mean it. You’ll notice our products have very short ingredient lists that you don’t need a food science degree to understand! That’s because we only use what’s needed to produce delicious natural ice cream: pure New Zealand dairy, fresh eggs and the finest locally sourced ingredients.
