Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice cream

Ben & Jerry's was founded in 1978 in Burlington, Vermont, USA, by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. The brand is famous for its creative flavors and social activism. Phish Food, specifically, was launched in 1997 in collaboration with the band Phish.

In 2000, the brand was acquired by the British multinational Unilever. While its corporate headquarters remain in Vermont to maintain its brand identity and social mission, production is highly decentralized. For the European market, products are primarily manufactured in Hellendoorn, Netherlands, though it is also produced at multiple facilities across the United States for North American consumers.
