The Best Ice Cream You Have Ever Tasted!


The Best Ice Cream You Have Ever Tasted!

Since its founding in 1870 by Louis C. Graeter, Graeter's French Pot Ice Cream, handmade chocolate confections and fresh baked goods have become traditions in the Queen City. Today the Graeter family still faithfully uses his century old recipes and methods of production.

In the mid 1800s, the Graeter family emigrated from Bavaria eventually settling in Cincinnati, Ohio. While just a teenager, Louis Charles Graeter began making ice cream in a market at the base of Sycamore Hill. In the age before mechanized freezers, ice cream was a rare treat, and had to be made in very small batches using rock salt and ice to freeze the cream.

Known nationally for its famous French Pot ice cream, Graeter's is the oldest continuously family-owned ice cream maker in the country. Each French Pot produces two and a half gallons of ice cream every 20 minutes.

All of Graeter's ice creams start with the same basic mixture of fresh cream, milk, egg custard and sugar, prepared daily from an old family recipe. The founder's great grandsons still faithfully use the finest ingredients, trusted recipes and original methods of production today.

Liquid chocolate is poured into the ice cream to form the famous Graeter's chocolate chips, a trademark of the brand.

Graeter's offers more than 20 regular, chip and no-fat sorbet flavors, in addition to 19 flavors on its seasonal menu.

Black Raspberry Chip, introduced in 1982, is now the most popular ice cream flavor at Graeter's.
Today, the fourth generation of the Graeter family runs the company and they still make French Pot ice cream just the way the founder did in 1870, two gallons at a time. It's the only way to achieve the irresistible creaminess that is Graeter's Ice Cream. With 44 retail stores in Ohio and Kentucky, plus grocery store distribution in the Ohio Valley, Denver, Houston, Dallas and more markets coming soon, Graeter's fans can find lots of ways to enjoy the best premium ice cream in the U.S.
