Ice Cream “Vēsma” Wins 1st Place in the “Plant-based Product of the Year 2024”

We are pleased to announce that our brand’s “Tio” mango and raspberry ice cream “VĒSMA” on a stick has won 1st place in the prestigious “Plant-based Product of the Year 2024” competition in the desserts category! 

Ģirts Liniņš, brand manager of “Food Union” ice cream: “This year, VĒSMA is celebrating its 50th anniversary – exactly half a century ago, this ice cream brand was born at the Rīgas Piena Kombināts, which is now the main production facility for ‘Food Union’ in Latvia. Last year, we gave it a new twist by launching vegan ice cream production. Therefore, this double win in the ‘Neapēd Zemeslodi’ competition, where our two VĒSMA ice creams on sticks – one with raspberry flavor and the other with mango flavor – were recognized as the most beloved plant-based ice creams in Latvia, feels like a heartfelt birthday gift and a strong quality endorsement! We are grateful to everyone who voted, tasted, and believed in VĒSMA’s new form. And, of course, this is just the beginning – this summer, VĒSMA will continue to refresh, inspire, and surprise. Stay tuned for updates!”

We thank everyone who voted, tasted, and appreciated our product. Long live ice cream, long live VĒSMA!
