Cremissimo Heidelbeer Vanille ice cream

Cremissimo is a well-known premium ice cream brand originally launched in 1998 in Germany as part of the Langnese family (the German division of Heartbrand). The product shown is the 'Heidelbeer Vanille' (Blueberry Vanilla) variety, known for its 'löffelzart' (spoon-soft) consistency.

The brand has traditionally been a core part of Unilever's ice cream portfolio. However, following a major strategic shift announced in 2024, Unilever began the process of demerging its ice cream business to create a standalone global entity. As of early 2026, the brand falls under the ultimate ownership of The Magnum Ice Cream Company N.V. (TMICC), a publicly traded company headquartered in Amsterdam that now manages the former Unilever ice cream portfolio, including brands like Magnum, Ben & Jerry's, and the Heartbrand regional variants (Langnese, Wall's, Eskimo).

Manufacturing for the German-speaking market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) is primarily centered at the 'Sourcing Unit Heppenheim' in Hesse, Germany, which is one of the largest ice cream factories in the world and has been the home of Langnese production since 1960.
