Anyone managed to find this in the uk? Apparently it's meant to be our equivalent of halo top.

Sadly I'm in an area with no Waitrose nearby and I refuse to do an Ocado order just for ice cream. I'm not that desperate. Yet.0 -
Co-op sell it. It's really nice but expensive. A rare treat.0

Rang round all my local coops and sadly none of them stock it. I'm in the grim Midlands, the land the food innovation goes to die.0 -

I suppose if you travel out a bit....we have a shipyard and an old slag bank lol
Edit before anyone is offended slag is the by product of melting ore for iron.

I love Oppo. I think they have stockists listed on their website. Someone said it's expensive but it's no more than a tub of Ben and Kerry's and Waitrose have had it on offer at least once. Love the stuff!1

Sadly my closest Waitrose is a "melty ice cream" distance away. Gonna try Heron Foods tomorrow as @suzannesimmons3 suggested0 -
Holland and Barrett sell it. I haven't tried it yet tho0

Hi GrumpyHeadmistress, it's Harry here from Oppo.
We're a pretty new startup but are gaining new stockists quickly so hopefully there will be one near you - you can find our list here: www.oppoicecream.co.uk/storefinder - best to call up the store first to check they're in stock before you make a trip. You can also get a £1 voucher there as well - we're about to announce some new stockists in Autumn so hopefully there will be more near you.
Heron foods aren't actually a stockist - they did sell a batch last year but there was an issue with freezers and it meant that it wasn't stored/transported correctly, so sorry suzannesimons3 - that might be why it wasn't up to standards when you tried a tub from there. We'll try to get some more stockists in Cumbria too! Thanks scarlett_k, Karenbeckwith5 and vintagefeline, hope you enjoy!
Cheers,

I've been living off Oppo ice cream all summer. It's absolutely delicious, particularly the salted caramel and the chocolate flavours. I'm not a fan of mint in ice cream so I don't like the mint flavour, but there's that one and vanilla also to try. I've been buying it in Whole Foods (I'm in London) and it's been on special offer a few times.3

I love it.1 -

Thanks, hope you manage to get some! I'm obviously biased but it will be worth it

ok, so my nearest stockist is just under 2 miles away, Im wondering if I could get it home before it melts...dont drive so would have to walk.
I know less than 2 miles is not far as walking goes but I might have to eat it on the way home lol0 -
Assuming you don't walk super slow it will be fine. Our Waitrose is a 20 minute drive away and I've happily picked some up there, put it in the car and gone to some other shops before heading home. You could always take a cooler bag or if you don't have one of those a jiffy bag to pop it in as the bubble wrap will help to insulate it.2

I was thinking this, would also mean I wouldn't have to share with the beast as he would not be able to see me eating it from the pushchair lol3 -
