Cherry Garcia Ice Cream

Cherry Garcia is one of the most iconic flavors from Ben & Jerry's, featuring cherry ice cream with cherries and fudge flakes. It was first launched in 1987 as a tribute to Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia. The brand began in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, in 1978 and quickly gained fame for its high-quality ingredients and social activism.

While Ben & Jerry's retains its independent board to oversee its social mission, the brand was acquired by the multinational conglomerate Unilever in 2000. Manufacturing occurs in multiple locations globally to serve local markets, including major facilities in Vermont, USA, and Hellendoorn, Netherlands. Today, it remains a flagship brand in Unilever's ice cream portfolio, maintaining its original commitment to non-GMO ingredients and fair trade sourcing.
