    Beginning of ice-cream evolution

    Ice-cream was not invented by any one person. Instead it was a gradual process of different frozen deserts over centuries. Evidence of ice-cream goes back to 3000 BC, where a milk and rice mixture was frozen together.

    Italians taking over

    Much later in 1298, ice cream was being sold on large streets. Marco Polo brought ice-cream recipes to Italy during this time. Italians took over European ice cream making to this day.

  • French evolution

    During the French evolution, count Augustine ran away to Hamburg with his chef and others. At Hamburg, he opened the famous Alster Pavillion, which mainly served ice-cream. Fugitive counts and their chefs spread ice-cream across Europe.
