Company history

New Zealand Natural began as a small ice creamery in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1984 that specialized in ice cream with no artificial colours or flavours. Then by chance, Rael Polivnick, who founded the company, met the owner on a flight crossing the Tasman Sea. Polivnick, seeing the potential, purchased the rights to open a New Zealand Natural store at Bondi Beach in Sydney in 1985.[ citation needed ]

The company's Gold Pure Vanilla was named best in Category at the 14th New Zealand Ice Cream Awards in 2010. [2]
