  About: "Our French Pot process is a traditional ice cream-making method dating back to 1870 that we still use today, making us one of the last producers in America to employ this labor-intensive technique." The company began in Cincinnati in 1870, later consolidated production at a factory on Reading Road in Mt. Auburn, and "opening a new manufacturing plant in 2010." Contact phone: (800) 721-3323. No current street address appeared on the fetched About or Contact pages. Caveat: the 2010 plant city is not named on those pages; the company is Cincinnati-based and historically manufactured in the city.

• ✓ Designed in the USA

  About: Graeter's still uses its own French Pot process, "hand-crafting it in French Pots," and "continued to innovate" with that method "while the rest of the ice cream industry chased efficiency," producing ice cream "with uniquely large chocolate pieces that simply cannot be replicated by modern industrial techniques."
