In 1914, the Dager family started making Velvet Ice Cream in Utica, Ohio. Our family and company have grown over the years, but we still take the time and extra care to give your family that old fashioned goodness and taste. Today, Velvet Ice Cream is made at the historic 1817 grist mill you see on our package. Ye Olde Mill was restored by Velvet Ice Cream and has become our symbol of old fashioned quality. Visit Velvet's historic Ye Olde Mill and see how Velvet Ice Cream is made. You'll be fascinated by Velvet's old fashioned parlour/restaurant, country store and museum of ice cream and milling.
