If you pride yourself on being a true ice cream connoisseur, you've probably asked yourself: Why does some ice cream feel creamier, smoother, just...better? Is it the type of milk? The way it’s churned? Or some well-kept industry secret?
At Breyers, we believe ice cream texture is just as important as flavor. That first spoonful should glide across your tongue and every bite after should be just as smooth, rich, and satisfying. But what really creates that signature creaminess?
Join us behind the scenes at Breyers, where carefully chosen ingredients and time-tested methods come together to create that creamy texture you’ve come to expect in every scoop.
Quality You Can Taste
Every scoop of Breyers ice cream starts with milk and cream from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones, because we believe real taste comes from real ingredients.
We also steer clear of artificial flavors and colors, choosing instead to use simple, recognizable ingredients you can trust.

Frozen Dairy Dessert vs. Ice Cream: What’s the Real Scoop?
Frozen treats come in a variety of forms, each crafted with different ingredients and processes. Some are labeled as frozen dairy desserts rather than ice cream due to specific FDA definitions around milk-fat content.
Final Word
Now you know what goes into that creamy Breyers texture: real milk and cream, high-quality ingredients, and a commitment to quality in every scoop. So the next time you're craving something smooth, satisfying, and made with care, you’ll know exactly where to reach.
