Our story
From ripe gooseberries in the garden and countless kitchen experiments to organic ice cream in the shop.
Love in every scoop
Bornholms Ismejeri was founded in 2008 by Vibeke Bengtson and Jonas Bohn with a simple dream of making the world's best ice cream without artificial additives. The ambition is still the same — to make uncompromising organic ice cream from the finest ingredients. Bornholms Ismejeri is still family-owned and we are just as passionate as the day we started. We believe great ice cream starts with the best ingredients and artisan craftsmanship.
Our timeline
The Beginning
The garden overflows with currants, blackcurrants and gooseberries. We decide to make ice cream from Nordic fruits & berries. The world's best.
The Dairy Opens
At Easter 2008, after many experiments in the kitchen, visits to an Italian ice cream professor and renovation of the old half-timbered house, we can finally open the doors.
Nationwide Sales
After a couple of years, IRMA notices us and we make a deal to supply ice cream to IRMA. The ice cream is produced at the dairy in Klemensker.
Own Production
We establish our own production at Svanevang in Svaneke. From here we produce ice cream for supermarket chains across the country.
Going Organic
We decide to convert to organic production. For the taste, for the environment, and for our children's sake.
Ice Cream Kiosks
We sell ice cream through wholesalers to customers across the country.
Krølle-Bølle Popsicles
The ice cream with the iconic troll is now once again produced on Bornholm, the island where it was born. We launch 'sherbet' which hasn't been on the market since 1976.
Krølle-Bølle Isbar
In Snogebæk, Krølle-Bølle Isbar opens and the lovely troll is welcomed with open arms by both locals and tourists.
Pjerrot's Ice House
Bornholms Ismejeri delivers ice cream to the most beautiful ice cream house at Bakken in Klampenborg. Pjerrot's Ice House has been renovated and now you can get ice cream from Bornholms Ismejeri at the amusement park north of Copenhagen.
