Graeter's Ice Cream

Founded in Cincinnati in 1870, Graeter's Ice Cream is one of America's most storied regional ice cream brands and the last commercial producer in the world to use the labor-intensive French Pot process, which creates two-gallon batches containing only 20–25% air for an extraordinarily dense, rich texture. Each pint is hand-packed, and the iconic Black Raspberry Chip flavor — made with Oregon black raspberries and hand-poured Peter's Chocolate chunks — remains the best-seller. After Oprah Winfrey declared it the best ice cream she had ever tasted in 2002, Graeter's expanded to over 6,200 grocery stores nationwide while remaining family-owned for four generations.
