Hertog Roomijs (Cream Ice Cream)

Hertog is a premium heritage ice cream brand deeply rooted in the Dutch culinary landscape. Originally established in the Netherlands by Roelof de Jonge in the late 19th century, the brand started as a local creamery. Over the decades, it evolved into one of the most recognized ice cream names in the country, known for its rich flavors and artisanal image.

The product is primarily manufactured in the Netherlands, specifically through production facilities managed by Unilever's ice cream division. While Unilever remains the primary corporate entity behind its production and distribution during this period, the brand operates as a key local powerhouse in the Benelux region.

As of the forecast for 2026 and beyond, the brand falls under the management of Unilever, a British multinational fast-moving consumer goods company. Unilever has recently undergone strategic shifts concerning its global ice cream portfolio, emphasizing a focus on local legacy brands like Hertog to maintain market leadership in specialty dairy segments.
