Review Of Bulla Creamy Classics Neapolitan Ice Cream 2L
Want to know if Bulla Creamy Classics Neapolitan Ice Cream tastes any good? I bought a container to help you decide if it’s worth a spot in your freezer. Let’s take a look at the good and bad of this tub.
Is Creamy Classics Neapolitan Ice Cream any good?
Creamy Classics Neapolitan is enjoyable ice cream which offers the convenience of strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla in one pack.
While there are a few brands offering this flavour, Bulla is the only one using fresh milk and cream. It is the best quality Neapolitan ice cream you’ll find in Aussie supermarkets.
I was especially happy with the line of strawberry ice cream which uses real strawberries. Alternative brands rely on cheaper flavourings and colours to make this flavour.
The texture is surprisingly indulgent for the price, but lets keep it real. This ice cream won’t compete with brands like Connoisseur or Haagen-Dazs.
Sold as a two litre pack, this product offers excellent bang for buck. It will appeal to families and anyone that finds smaller packs running out too fast.
Creamy Classics Neapolitan is one of the best options if you’re after quantity and quality. When it’s on sale at 50% off, this is a no brainer.
Pros
- Nice creamy flavour that most will enjoy.
- Use of real strawberries is a bonus.
- Made with fresh Australian milk and cream.
- Australian family-owned and made.
Cons
- A lot of air is churned into the tub.
What other flavours are available in the Bulla Creamy Classics range?
Flavour options vary depending on the country, but you’ll find the following additional products in Australian stores:
- Creamy Classics Vanilla Ice Cream Review.
- Creamy Classics Vanilla and Boysenberry Ice Cream Review.
- Creamy Classics Mint Choc Chip Ice Cream Review.
- Creamy Classics Rich Choc Chip Ice Cream Review.
- Creamy Classics Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Review.
Why is a tub of Creamy Classics cheaper than premium brands?
With the use of quality ingredients and a large pack, you may wonder why Bulla Creamy Classics costs less than smaller premium tubs of ice cream.
While various factors are at play, a big reason is the amount of air that gets whipped into the ice cream. Premium brands incorporate less air, giving it a denser, more indulgent consistency. One way cheaper brands reduce costs is by increasing the air content.
What are some alternatives?
Peters Original Neapolitan 2L: A cheaper option if you’re looking to reduce the shopping bill. Remember that a Creamy Classics container has fresh milk and cream, which you won’t get from the Peters option.
Coles Simply Neapolitan Ice Dessert 4L: One of the cheapest tubs in Aussie stores, but there’s a quality tradeoff.
Blue Ribbon Neapolitan Reduced Fat 2L: A decent choice if you’re looking to reduce fat intake. A soft, airy product that’s easy to scoop.

Milk fat
Milk fat plays a vital role in ice cream’s texture and mouthfeel. More of it results in a creamier, smoother texture associated with superior ice cream.
Bulla Creamy Classics Neapolitan Ice Cream contains 10% milk fat. That’s higher than most family-pack ice creams like Peters or Blue Ribbon Streets but lower than more expensive offerings like Murray Street or Haagen-Dazs.
