Gilly Walters was not the first to invent soft honey nougat, however her unique soft honey nougat recipe is one of the highest rated nougats in the world.

Gilly was the first person to invent the world first nougat biscuit in 1999. Wedgewood Angels Biscuits are still made by her family on the family farm using her world first original recipe.

Gilly Walters invented the first nougat ice cream in 1999 for concert goers at her family home. The nougat, nougat biscuits, toasted nougat were also world-first recipes invented by Gilly at the same time.

Wedgewood Nougat ice cream is the creamiest ice cream in the world with a butterfat content of 28%. Although there are existing brands that are deemed among the world’s creamiest, they come a low second and third being only 16% butterfat content. An ice cream must be above 10% to be considered ice cream.

This donation goes to support three key projects: Santawana Early Learning Development, Litterboom Project to remove waste from riverine systems, Kwa-Zulu Natal Conservation Trust supporting endangered species.
