The first New Zealand Natural ice cream was sold exclusively in a small ice cream store in Christchurch New Zealand in 1984. By chance, Rael Polivnick, who founded the company, met the inventor of New Zealand Natural on a flight crossing the Tasman Sea. Rael, seeing the potential, purchased the rights to open a New Zealand Natural store at Sydney's famous Bondi Beach in 1985.
It is now owned and operated by Diane Foreman.
New Zealand Natural has won the Export Award at the Westpac New Zealand Franchise Awards and the SIAL D'Or Award in France.[1]
Foreman was named the New Zealand Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year in 2010.[2]
The company's Gold Pure Vanilla was named best in Category at the 14th New Zealand Ice Cream Awards in 2010.[3]
