Hertog Ice Cream

Hertog is a prestigious ice cream brand with deep roots in the Netherlands. It was established by Wim Hertog in 1976 in the city of Dirksland. The brand quickly became famous for its 'Hertog Roomijs' (cream ice cream), positioning itself as a premium, high-quality offering in the Dutch market. Its reputation was built on traditional craftsmanship and the use of rich, creamy ingredients.

In 1996, the brand was acquired by the British-Dutch multinational Unilever. Since then, while maintaining its Dutch heritage and local identity, Hertog has benefited from Unilever's global distribution and manufacturing network. Although it remains a staple of Dutch dessert culture, Unilever often integrates production across its European ice cream facilities to meet regional demand, though much of the core product line for the Dutch market is still manufactured locally. Today, Hertog stands as one of the leading premium ice cream brands in Northern Europe, known for its iconic tubs and variety of indulgent flavors.
