Ingredient story
Milk & cream
Them Andelsmejeri · Them, Denmark
All our dairy ice cream begins in the same place: with real milk and cream from Them Andelsmejeri, just a few kilometres from the dairy. It is the foundation beneath everything we make — and the reason our ice cream tastes the way it does.
A cooperative dairy with its heart in the right place
Them Andelsmejeri is one of the few cooperative dairies left in Denmark, owned by the local farmers themselves. The cows graze in the fields around Them, and the milk is collected and processed with a care you only find where people know their ingredients by name. For us, that means short distances, fresh milk and a supplier we can visit in a morning.
Why the fat matters most
Cream is not just cream. The fat content and freshness determine how round and creamy the ice cream feels in the mouth — and how long the flavour lingers. We work with full-fat milk and cream, never standardised down to the lowest common denominator, because that is what gives dairy ice cream its richness. No vegetable fats, no powder mixes.
Pure, with nothing added
We add neither colouring nor artificial flavourings. When the milk and cream are of high enough quality, they have no need to be masked — they should be allowed to carry the flavour. That places great demands on the ingredient, which is why choosing a dairy is one of the most important decisions we make.
