NEW DUETTO FLAVORS (AND THE NOVEMBER POLL)
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
Since Duetto was released in February it’s been very well-received. A lot of hard work and testing went into making the product, which is why we recently surveyed almost 7,000 people to gather some insight about Duetto and ways to improve it.
Part of the survey focused on Duetto flavors. We asked which of the four existing flavors (mango, raspberry, cherry and lemon) people liked best and here’s what we found:
• 29 percent preferred raspberry (a favorite among women)
• 22 percent preferred cherry (a favorite among men)
• 19 percent preferred mango
• 16 percent preferred lemon
• 14 percent had no preference
Then we asked about new flavors. We are, after all, going to be adding a few flavors to the Duetto line in the future, so we wanted to get an idea of which ones people our survey takers were most excited about. Which brings us to the subject of this month’s poll (at right). To avoid unfairly influencing the results, we’ll share the results of our survey at the end of the month!
By the way, the official results of the October poll revealed that 16 percent of you use a “special bowl” when eating your ice cream. And no, “the container” doesn’t count as a special bowl.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.

it just as is…mmm..mmm…mmm…GOOD!
I am trying to convince my Dr Turkey Hill is the cover name for heart medicine. One taste and I am sure he will agree its comfort food
December 17th, 2007 at 4:52 pmI just bought 2 more pints of the Cherry Duettos today. I love cherry the best. Still haven’t seen the Raspberry flavor yet.Been looking to try it out. I also received the 2008 calander thank you
December 13th, 2007 at 5:24 pmWhat a great poll, I love the flavors of Duettos and I can’t wait for a new one! I can only imagine how heavenly the chocolate would taste!
November 3rd, 2007 at 10:22 pmSo I had a meeting with my Ice cream Lover friends and they suggested WATERMELON for one of the new flavors!! Sounds great to me!! The orange could be a really great creamcicle flavor also! I agree with the mint chocolate chip flavor mentioned above also, that would be a super yummy duetto!! Also, will duetto always be mixed with Vanilla? Have you ever thought about using Chocolate?
November 3rd, 2007 at 12:36 pmgo chocolate go!!!an my second would be orange since thats my mom’s favorite!!vanilla&orange!!
November 1st, 2007 at 3:44 pmI think personally that the strawberry would be good. It’s kind of a traditional flavor that lots of people would be interested in trying (I know I would!!!). It would be even better if there were strawberry chunks in the ice cream!
November 1st, 2007 at 3:02 pmI have tried the lemon and cherry Duettos and so far I like the cherry flavor better.
Alas, as hard as the Duettos might try, mint chocolate chip is still my favorite flavor. I got the brand on sale, which was Shurfine, and it left an aftertaste! Yuck. But I broke out my last TH mint chocolate chip and all was good. So, mint chocolate chip Juliets and Romeos unite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raspberry is my favorite, then Mango. I love this poll thing. I think chocolate would be great, and peach sounds like a great introduction for the spring and summer. How about pina colada??
November 1st, 2007 at 11:34 amFrom October’s poll I was surprised we went with the rest of the people. I love the Raspberry and my husband is into the Cherry (but he still likes Pistachio ice cream best which is not a common flavor) maybe because it is the color of money.
November 1st, 2007 at 10:16 amFor the new flavor strawberry is for me with orange second but raspberry would still be number one.
In my study of people we try any thing once so go for it if we don’t like it we won’t buy it
November 1st, 2007 at 10:15 amMany of the new flavors sound great. Coconut and Chocolate in particular. I like the idea of moving away from fruit flavors. Any thoughts of adding to the soft serve ice cream flavors. For example Coffee Soft Serve with Chocolate Ice. I’d also like to see just the soft serve (no ice) and possibly combinations of those.
November 1st, 2007 at 10:02 amI think cranberry duetto would be a good choice for a new flavor!
November 1st, 2007 at 8:37 amcranberry duetto would my choice for a new flavor
November 1st, 2007 at 8:36 amRasperry is the only Duetto flavor I haven’t gotten to taste, I can’t find it anywhere,,, but of the 3 I have tasted, Lemon is my favorite. Of course that could change depending on what the new flavors turn out to be! The soft serve ice cream in the Duetto’s is THE BEST,, you should package and sell containers of that, alone!
November 1st, 2007 at 8:27 amThe specific months when they’ll be launched is still hard to forecast at this point, Robbin. As for who picks them, that will be up to our flavor development team, which consists of several people. We should write a blog entry about that process!
I wonder if our team thought about considering peach because that sounds like a great Duetto flavor (Peaches & Cream).
November 1st, 2007 at 7:56 amWho gets to pick which 2 new flavors
November 1st, 2007 at 7:12 amwill be added in 2008? Any idea what month in 2008 they will be introduced?
Another flavor suggestion is peach, though my heart will “melt” if the banana is not one of the 2. Thanks T.H.T. for all you do!
I think Mango is the best!
November 1st, 2007 at 7:04 amMy wife and I love Cherry. I want to try Raspberry. The problem for us is finding Duetto. We are in NC (a mostly Turkey Hill deprived state). The nearest store that carries Duetto is 100 miles from us, so we have to take Turkey Hill trips to Roanoke, VA to get it.
Root Beer, coconut, orange and banana all sound great to me.
October 31st, 2007 at 7:58 pmGreat question Christina! We’ll be adding TWO new flavors in 2008.
October 31st, 2007 at 4:01 pmThis is a great new poll! I can’t wait till we get a new flavor! I’m going to have to buy a bigger freezer to sustain all of this excitement!! Do you think it will be only one new flavor added to the Duetto plan, or could there possibly be two?
