We still have some good brands, but I've noticed a few start to slip. Breyers used to make a nice chocolate ice cream that was milk, cream, sugar, and cocoa. It was just slightly dry because it had nothing added to counteract the dryness of the cocoa. Someone decided it neeeded to be creamier, so now it has more ingredients :(. I liked the dry, kinda flakey texture of the four-ingredient version we used to get. Now it kinda melts funny, and I'm not as happy.
In the US, for a brand available pretty much anywhere, Häagen-Dazs is decent. Despite the name, it is 100% an American company. They just thought it needed a European sounding name.
- Reason077 3y agoBreyers is now owned by UK-headquartered Unilever, the world's biggest ice cream producer, so I'm afraid it's likely to have joined the race to the bottom at this point. While Häagen-Dazs was indeed founded in the US, now days the US operations are owned by Froneri, also based in the UK and the world's 2nd-largest ice cream producer behind Unilever! Curiously the Häagen-Dazs brand outside the US is owned separately by General Mills, which is a US company.
- rootusrootus 3y agoThat's interesting information about Häagen-Dazs, thanks for sharing. Hopefully they're not going to join that race for the bottom.
