Carte D'Or is a premium ice cream brand that was originally created in France in 1978. It was initially designed by the French confectionery company Cogesal as a range of desserts for professional restaurateurs before being launched in the retail market through supermarkets. The brand is famous for its association with high-quality ingredients and classic dessert-inspired flavors.

Today, Carte D'Or is one of the leading global ice cream brands under the ownership of the British multi-national conglomerate Unilever. Because of Unilever's extensive global footprint, the product is manufactured in multiple countries to supply different regional markets, with major production hubs located in the United Kingdom, Italy, and France.

Starting in 2024 and projected into 2026, Unilever has begun a process of spinning off its entire ice cream division into a standalone entity. However, as of the current reporting, it remains the ultimate owner. The brand continues to be distributed locally by various Unilever subsidiaries, maintaining its position as a staple in the premium retail dessert category.
