Our Story
Graeter’s began more than 145 years ago when Louis Graeter moved to Cincinnati to sell ice cream at neighborhood markets. His passion for creating the finest French Pot ice cream still exists today with the fourth generation of the Graeter family - Bob, Chip and Rich - leading the Cincinnati icon. Using the same French Pot freezers, they handcraft ice cream in 2.5-gallon batches and hand pack it into pint containers - continuing Graeter’s addictive Cincinnati tradition.
About Our Food
One batch at a time, with only the finest ingredients and huge chocolate chunks, is the secret behind our handcrafted ice creams. This means that you won’t find any fake syrups, sweeteners or artificial coloring. Our cream is sourced from local cows and is free of artificial growth hormones. Don’t forget the famous huge chocolate hunks found in our signature chip ice creams! We take Peter's® Chocolate, melt it, pour it into French pots along with our ice cream, and then, using a paddle, chop it into our notoriously delicious chip-chunks.
