ICE CREAM IN NORFOLK & SUFFOLK

Celebrating 125 Years of Producing Traditional Italian Ice Cream in Norfolk & Suffolk

Parravani’s Ice Cream has produced handed-down, traditional Italian ice cream in Norfolk & Suffolk for over 120 years.

Our story

Founded in 1898, we are the oldest independent producer of ice cream in East Anglia and indeed, the longest-established in England. It all started with Giuseppe Parravani, who began as a small ice cream seller in the busy city streets of Norwich.

To this day, the family have maintained the traditional recipes handed down through the generations, and we pride ourselves on making high quality, delicious ice cream, from locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. We have come a long way from Giuseppe’s original vision, but that same vision still encapsulates everything we do.

Not to like ice cream, is to show oneself uninterested in food’.

Our Website

While we’re 125 years old, we’ve embraced technology to the extent that we accept orders on our website and either deliver ice cream to local customers ourselves. These areas include Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex.

If you live or operate a business beyond these areas and would like us to be your chosen ice cream supplier, we’ll deliver your order via our trusted and reliable national courier. We do, however, encourage you to contact us when placing your order for a delivery quote. Learn more about our Ice Cream Wholesale, Ice Cream Tubs Wholesale and Cakes Wholesale.
