The Story
Kohavegaard Ice Creamery was founded by Johnny Nielsen, a passionate pastry chef with a lifelong love for the many possibilities within the world of ice cream. The idea was born during a trip to Mexico, where Johnny was inspired by traditional "paletas" – handmade ice cream bars made from pure fruit. That experience stuck with him and sparked the dream of bringing natural ice joy back to Denmark.
Today, all ice cream bars and tubs are produced at Kohavegaard in Assens on the island of Funen. The focus is on craftsmanship and quality ingredients. Each batch is flash-frozen at -25 degrees to preserve pure flavor and perfect consistency.
Kohavegaard Ice Creamery combines classic pastry traditions with innovative flavors and a clear goal: to create ice cream that brings back memories, sparks joy and delights all ages.
