Parravanis Ice Cream Information

Parravani’s have been making traditional Italian ice cream in Norfolk and Suffolk to recipes handed down through the family, for over 120 years. Founded in 1898, we are one of the oldest independent makers of ice cream in East Anglia and indeed the United Kingdom. It all started with Giuseppe Parravani, who began as a small ice cream seller in the busy city streets of Norwich. To this day, we have maintained the traditional recipes handed down through the generations, and we pride ourselves on making high quality, delicious ice cream, from locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. We have come a long way from Giuseppe’s original vision, but that same vision still encapsulates everything we do. ‘Not to like ice cream, is to show oneself uninterested in food’. Joseph Epstein
