We are most often asked how many “types” or “styles” of ice cream exist? In the simplest of terms, no matter the style, ice cream (and frozen dessert variants, thereof,) is the only food designed, formulated, manufactured, marketed, and sold with the express intent of being consumed frozen.

Cincinnati-based Graeter’s Ice Cream has served the Midwest since 1870. Dairy Foods visited the plant in April to check out its 30,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, opened in 2010. 

Sour cream is a cultured product that doesn’t get a lot of press. It is also a dairy product that we often take for granted because we think it is limited to very traditional uses, such as baked potato topping, or served with chili, tacos, and a base for dips. 

Many Americans recognize dairy as a cornerstone of a healthy diet however. The survey explores nutrition barriers and how to remove them.

Graeter’s Ice Cream has achieved something few companies have. It is synonymous with the city it has served for the past 154 years: Cincinnati. 

Renewed interest and excitement for cottage cheese took over TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook last fall. 

It’s the age of cottage cheese. At first glance, it may sound like an exaggeration, but it’s not. TikTok has sent cottage cheese sales to the moon with sales of $1.33B. While private-label is still No. 1, brands like Daisy and Breakstone's are doing well. 

In the 1970s, some companies began producing cheese in large 640-pound blocks to reduce handling and packaging costs.

The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations outlines requirements and considerations related to the labeling of foods, including ice cream and frozen desserts.

As we move further from the COVID-19 pandemic, it would be fair to expect a decline in private-label sales.
