1.0 Company Background

Haagen-Dazs is the world’s first super-premium ice cream, introduced in 1961. That’s when lifelong ice cream entrepreneur Reuben Mattus (who 40 years earlier helped his mother sell fruit ice pops on the streets of New York City) began selling Häagen-Dazs Chocolate, Coffee and Vanilla ice cream in pint-sized containers throughout New York City. For decades, he experimented, tested and ultimately perfected the world’s finest ice cream.

Not surprisingly, word-of-mouth passion for Häagen-Dazs has been strong from the beginning. When the first Häagen-Dazs Shop opened in 1976, it was an immediate success. International expansion followed six years later.
Now sold at retail and in more than 900 Häagen-Dazs Shops in 50 countries, Häagen-Dazs ice cream is savored around the world. Decades come and go, but Häagen-Dazs remains true to its passionate commitment to quality, creativity and, above all else, taste.
