FERRERO'S ICE CREAM JOURNEY: FROM CLASSIC TREATS TO NEW FAVOURITES
We want people to enjoy the unique taste of our iconic brands all year around, whether winter or summer, rain or sunshine. It’s why, a few years ago, we launched our ice cream range.
Our ice creams are part of Ferrero’s dedication to continuous innovation. For years before the first ice cream launch, Ferrero product developers had been working on developing ice cream recipes in our laboratories in Alba, Italy. Indeed, each of our ice creams brings our 70 years of creativity together with the craftsmanship, tasting and testing of a truly dedicated and inspirational ice cream team.
All of this ensures that, with each bite, people receive the same moment of enjoyment that they do with our other products. After all, why shouldn’t our ice creams perfectly reflect the care and infinite attention to quality that make Ferrero’s beloved products so appreciated all over the world?
A Growing Portfolio
Those years dedicated to product development and innovation have meant that, in the time since we launched our first ice cream, we’ve been able to grow our portfolio significantly. Ferrero brand ice creams are now available in a wide range of forms and flavours.
These ice creams are either produced on Ferrero’s production line in Alzira, Spain, or from the lines we added to our manufacturing process as part of our Ice Cream Factory Comaker (ICFC) acquisition in 2021. Each of our factories has state-of-the art-facilities and production capabilities which set the bar within the industry at a global level.
In December 2022, Ferrero Group also acquired Wells, its operations and its strong ice cream brands, which include Blue Bunny, Blue Ribbon Classics, Bomb Pop and Halo Top. The acquisition is part of Ferrero’s strategic growth ambitions for the ice cream category and Wells’ vision for accelerated growth.
Nutella Ice Cream: The Latest Innovation
Most recently, we expanded our ice cream product range with the launch of Nutella Ice Cream across Europe. This new product is the first packaged ice cream by Nutella: a combination of Nutella‘s unique taste and melt-in-your-mouth creaminess with the smoothness of ice cream. Nutella Ice Cream comes in a pot filled with three layers of Nutella which are interspersed with a distinctively soft hazelnut-flavored ice cream that’s been enriched by crispy Nutella ribbons.
Our Nutella Ice Cream joins long-established brands like Ferrero Rocher, Raffaello, Kinder Bueno, Kinder Chocolate, Pocket Coffee, Yogurette and EstaThè Ice to come in a novel ice cream form. Below is a breakdown of the ice creams we’re proud to offer today, some available worldwide, and some exclusively to specific regions.
Whether enjoying alone, or with friends and family, which will you be seeking out to help you cool down this summer?
