Connection to Breyers.
Connection to Breyers.
William A. Breyer started making ice cream in 1866 in Philadelphia using simple, high-quality ingredients. He initially hand-cranked ice cream and he also sold it locally before he expanded to larger size production. His commitment to using pure ingredients like fresh cream, sugar, and vanilla set Breyers apart from other ice cream manufacturers. By the 1882, his business had grown into a full company, and by 1896, after his passing, his family continued to expand the brand, eventually leading to what it is today.

Breyers is now owned by 'Unilever', one of the world's largest consumer goods companies. Even though the brand still markets itself as using simple ingredients, it has expanded into various ice cream products, including non-dairy and even low-calorie options. Recently, Unilever has considered selling or spinning off its ice cream shares, which includes Breyers, due to financial limitations and potential market changes. So we wil see what that means for Breyers.
