Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Ben & Jerry's is a world-renowned ice cream brand founded in 1978 in Burlington, Vermont, USA. Its iconic Cookie Dough flavor is one of its most popular offerings globally. The brand is famous for its commitment to social responsibility, Fairtrade ingredients, and 'chunky' ice cream textures.

While the brand originated in a renovated gas station in Vermont, its massive global success led to its acquisition by the multinational conglomerate Unilever in 2000. Despite the acquisition, Ben & Jerry's maintains a unique independent board of directors to oversee its social mission and brand integrity.

Manufacturing takes place in various locations around the world to serve local markets. In North America, production remains centered in Vermont, while European supplies are often produced in the Netherlands to ensure freshness and reduce regional distribution logistics.
