About B&G Food Factory
B&G Foodfactory is a Dutch ice cream maker and concept developer based on artisanal production. Since April 2012, it has been making fresh, handmade scoop ice cream from a pure base of organic Frisian milk and fresh ingredients, with a focus on classic and contemporary flavors.
Over time, the company has expanded beyond its own B&G ice cream into a platform for new frozen concepts. It works with start-up entrepreneurs to develop creative, exclusive, and innovative products, ranging from vegan ice cream to ice pops and other frozen desserts.
Core Values
- Artisanal quality: The company emphasizes handmade production and an artisanal approach, which it says gives the ice cream less air and more flavor.
- Organic ingredients: B&G highlights organic Frisian milk and fresh ingredients as the basis of its products, and its ice cream is Skal-certified organic.
- Innovation: Beyond its core ice cream line, the company actively develops new concepts and formats, including vegan, protein-rich, and fruit-based frozen products.
- Collaboration: B&G presents itself as a partner for start-up entrepreneurs, co-creating creative and exclusive products rather than only manufacturing its own brand.
Unique Aspects
- Platform for new concepts: B&G has evolved from a single ice cream maker into a production platform for multiple branded frozen concepts.
- Organic Frisian base: Its core ice cream is made with organic milk from Friesland, giving the brand a clear regional and ingredient identity.
- Broad concept portfolio: The company produces a wide mix of formats and concepts, including vegan ice cream, protein ice cream, frozen yogurt, fruit ice cream, and ice pops.
- Entrepreneurial co-development: B&G explicitly works with start-up entrepreneurs to bring new frozen products to market, combining manufacturing with concept development.
