Dairyland unveils new Blackish Peppermint Chocolate Ice Cream flavour

KENYA – Dairyland has introduced its Blackish Peppermint Chocolate Ice Cream to the Kenyan market, positioning it as a premium innovation designed to strengthen partnerships across retail, hospitality, and distribution channels.

The launch follows last November’s limited‑edition rollout, which successfully tested consumer appetite for bold, design‑driven frozen desserts.

The company has transformed the concept into a full‑scale sensory experience, blending peppermint freshness with rich chocolate depth, all wrapped in a striking black aesthetic.

The new 500 ml flavour stands out not only for its taste but also for its visual identity. The monochrome design evokes exclusivity and sophistication, positioning Blackish as a statement piece in Dairyland’s lineup.

Founded in 1979, Dairyland began its journey with ice cream and has since expanded its product range to include chocolates, yogurts, chocolate spreads, topping sauces, and various catering items. 

From classic flavours to real fruit vibes and indulgent deluxe options, the brand has taken its product presentation to new heights while preserving its signature taste.

Innovation has remained at the core, enabling the company to transform achievements into sustained growth and new opportunities.

In 2025, the company unveiled a fresh look for its ice cream tubs, blending innovation and flair. 

The transformation, which the company describes as a “glow-up,” promises not only a visual upgrade but an enhanced experience in both looks and flavor. 

Dairyland’s packaging features updated designs that embody the brand’s dedication to creativity while retaining its commitment to quality. 

Additionally, the company announced the launch of the first-ever Kenyan vegan ice cream under the brand name Dairyland Dairy-Free Vegan Ice Cream.

Dairyland’s commitment to food safety has also set it apart in the industry. The company recently received the prestigious FSSC 22000 certification for its advanced chocolate manufacturing facility in Kikuyu, Kiambu County.

Recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), FSSC 22000 is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous and comprehensive food safety management standards in the world, a benchmark that opens doors to the most demanding international markets.

This landmark achievement positions Dairyland among an elite group of world-class chocolate producers trusted by leading retailers and consumers across Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.
