On the tub, this flavour is described as:
Vanilla flavour ice cream with oreo biscuit pieces
A simple enough combination I guess? Upon opening the tub it was confirmed that all this ice cream would provide is that very combination. No fancy swirls, or brownies, or caramel add-ins.
Texture: surprisingly easy to dig your spoon into! Dare I say even easier than the more 'luxury' brands. Biscuit pieces throughout, and quite a lot of them too (because nothing is more disappointing than an ice cream tub with about 2 biscuit pieces in. Yes Haagen Dazs Cookies n' cream, I'm looking at you!) The biscuit size ranges from tiny little crumbs to decent sized dig-your-teeth-into-it pieces.
Taste: again, this came as somewhat of a surprise. After having misgivings that this flavour was going to be 'boring' with not a lot going on, I was pleasantly startled by the flavour of the cream. The best comparison for it of course would be the vanilla cream filling that regular oreos have. It's quite a strong vanilla taste, but in a pleasant way so that it doesn't take away from the biscuit pieces. Naturally, the biscuit pieces are oreo. They taste like oreos, they have the same crunch as oreos- so I don't think there's any further explanation needed.
Overall: for a tub of quite simple composition (in that it consists of nothing more than ice cream and biscuit) it is NOT to be underestimated! A safe option, yes, for those of you who are fussier about their eating, but also guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. Turns out, when it comes to the good ol' famous oreo, you don't need to overcomplicate things to et a smashing tub.
