Ben & Jerry's Half Baked Ice Cream

Ben & Jerry's was founded in 1978 in Burlington, Vermont, USA, by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. The brand became famous for its unique flavor combinations and commitment to social and environmental activism. Despite its small-scale beginnings in a converted gas station, the brand grew into a global powerhouse in the premium ice cream market.

In 2000, Ben & Jerry's was acquired by the multinational consumer goods giant Unilever. Under the terms of the acquisition, the brand maintains a unique independent Board of Directors to preserve its social mission and product quality. Production is global, with major manufacturing facilities in the United States (Vermont), the Netherlands (Hellendoorn for the European market), and Israel.

Half Baked, one of their most popular flavors, features a blend of chocolate and vanilla ice creams with brownie pieces and cookie dough. The brand continues to operate as a subsidiary of Unilever, focusing on fair-trade ingredients and sustainable sourcing.
