Kibon ChicaBon Ice Cream

Kibon is the most recognized ice cream brand in Brazil, famous for its heart-shaped logo which is part of the global Heartbrand family. The specific product shown, ChicaBon, is one of Brazil's most iconic chocolate and malt flavored ice creams, originally launched as a popsicle and now available in various formats including this tub.

The Kibon brand was founded in Brazil in 1941 by U.S. businessman U.P. Guedes. Over the decades, it grew to dominate the Brazilian market before being acquired by Gessy Lever. Today, it is owned by the British multinational Unilever, which operates its ice cream division globally under different names such as Wall's in the UK and Frigo in Spain, all unified by the same red and white heart branding. Manufacturing for the Brazilian market primarily takes place in local facilities within Brazil to ensure freshness and supply chain efficiency.
