Exciting news from one of Canada’s most beloved dessert brands! Demetres is bringing its award-winning ice cream to grocery freezers with the launch of an exclusive collection of globally inspired handcrafted 500 mL pints, arriving at Loblaw banner stores across Ontario.

Made locally in Woodbridge, Ontario, Demetres has built a loyal following for its indulgent desserts and small-batch ice cream, earning prestigious honours including Retail Council of Canada Grand Prix Awards, Grocery Innovations Canada Top 10 Awards, and multiple Royal Agricultural Winter Fair championships. Now, for the first time, Canadians can enjoy some of the brand’s most celebrated creations at home.

A CELEBRATION OF CANADA’S DIVERSE FOOD CULTURE

Inspired by the flavours and traditions of communities from around the world that call Canada home, the new collection transforms globally loved desserts and ingredients into rich, premium ice creams.

The exclusive lineup includes:

Dubai Chocolate – Inspired by the viral Middle Eastern dessert, this decadent flavour combines creamy Belgian chocolate ice cream with crunchy pistachio kunafa, toasted kataifi and milk chocolate flakes. A longtime bestseller at Scooped by Demetres, it’s now available for ice cream lovers across Ontario.

Über Ube – A vibrant purple ice cream featuring sweet, nutty ube (purple yam), finished with golden chocolate-coated toasted cornflakes inspired by the beloved Filipino dessert Halo-Halo. This flavour recently received the Retail Council of Canada’s Excellence in Ethnic Product Award.

Sassy Mango Lassi – A refreshing take on the iconic South Asian beverage, blending juicy Alphonso mangoes with thick, creamy yogurt for a bright, perfectly balanced summer treat.

Whispers of Saffron – An elegant combination of saffron, rose and cardamom with flakes of cream and toasted pistachios, inspired by the rich culinary traditions of the Middle East and South Asia. Also recognized with the Retail Council of Canada’s Excellence in Ethnic Product Award.

Matcha White Chocolatea – Crafted with ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha and finished with delicate flakes of Belgian white chocolate for a perfectly balanced flavour.
