• Everyone has their favourite UltraMel custard moment, reminiscent of all the great memories created with friends and family for generations. Having enjoyed 5 decades of being Mzansi’s favourite custard, it’s time to shake things up with UltraMel’s new and exciting full cream milkshake variants in 3 delicious flavours – vanilla, chocolate & strawberry.

    Social media has been abuzz with the question “How do you UltraMel?”…red or green jelly? Vanilla or cinnamon? Hot or cold? Malva or Trifle? Big or small spoon? However you UltraMel, everyone has memory-filled stories to share.

    If the original UltraMel is anything to go by, it’s time to indulge in great tasting full cream milkshakes and create some more memories, whether you’re in the streets of eKasi or the suburbs of Sandton. No matter which flavour moves you more – chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry – you’re bound to find a firm favourite.  The new thick and creamy range will be sure to deliver joy in every drop!

    “We’re excited to be introducing South Africans to the new way to UltraMel – bringing all of the exceptional taste heritage you’ve come to love over the last 50 years into this new, fun, anytime treat,” says Lazola Dali, Marketing Manager: Local Icons, Danone Southern Africa. With the iconic brand celebrating its 50th birthday this year, the new product launch marks an important milestone for the UltraMel family and is a great prelude to the astounding anniversary.
