Hennig-Olsen Is ice cream

Hennig-Olsen Is is a historic Norwegian ice cream producer with roots dating back to 1924. Founded by Sven Hennig-Olsen in Kristiansand, Norway, the brand has grown to become one of the leading ice cream manufacturers in the Nordic region. The company is famous for its tagline 'Kremen av iskrem' (The cream of ice cream).

The manufacturing process remains centered in Kristiansand, where the family-owned factory produces a wide variety of frozen treats ranging from classic cones and sticks to innovative new flavors. Ownership has remained within the Hennig-Olsen family for generations, maintaining its status as an independent Norwegian brand despite the global consolidation of the food industry. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, it remains a family-held entity focused on premium quality and local production.
