Celebrate National Ice Cream Month with Graeter's!
Fun Facts about National Ice Cream Month!
Hey y’all! Look for me today on WAVE3, where I’ll be sharing the latest seasonal flavors from Graeter’s Ice Cream, as well as some fun facts about National Ice Cream Month!
Did you know?
Graeter’s has been using quality ingredients to produce authentic, hand-crafted French Pot ice cream for 152 years, making it the perfectly decadent sweet treat for summer. Graeter’s is the only ice cream company to use 2 ½ - gallon French Pots, a small batch, true craft, artisanal method of production dating back over a century. This is the same process Louis Graeter used when he first started selling ice cream in the streets of Cincinnati. By adhering to the French Pot Process, Graeter’s continues to have the smallest batch size in the industry. In fact, Graeter’s Ice Cream is too thick to pump into pint containers like most ice cream makers, so they hand pack it the old-fashioned way! On a typical day, Graeter’s packs nearly 20,000 pints!
