Algida Carte d'Or ice cream

Algida is a prominent Italian ice cream brand, originally founded in Rome in 1945 by Alfred Gelato. The brand became a household name in Italy and was eventually acquired by the Anglo-Dutch multinational Unilever in 1964. Today, Algida is part of Unilever's massive Heartbrand global ice cream portfolio, which includes famous names like Wall's, Magnum, and Ben & Jerry's.

The specific product shown is manufactured in Italy, as indicated by the Italian language packaging and labeling. Unilever operates major ice cream production facilities in Italy (such as the Caivano plant), which supply both the domestic and international markets. As of 2026, Unilever remains the ultimate owner of the brand, managing it as part of their global nutrition and refreshment business unit headquartered in London, United Kingdom.
