Haagen-Dazs is an ice cream brand owned by General Mills and sold under the Nestle licensing brand in the United States. There are new flavors released every year in an effort to produce the most exceptional Frozen desserts.

The Beginning of Haagen Dazs

Reuben Mattus had always been involved in selling ice cream even as a child he sold it for his mother form a horse drawn cart.http://www.haagen-dazs.com/company/history.aspx

It was in 1961 that he and his wife Rose decided to produce their own brand of ice cream using only the highest quality products that have high butterfat content and few additives. They named it Haagen Dazs to make it remind people of the old world craftsmanship. The company at first only made Vanilla, chocolate and coffee flavorhttp://www.haagen-dazs.com/company/history.aspx

The company produces ice cream, sorbet and frozen yogurt. In addition to the ice cream franchising retail stores. They were the first company to create an adult-oriented ice cream bar in 1986.

In 2008 they donated money to go towards research into Colony Collapse Disorder, as honey bees are vital to pollinating many of the plants that yield ingredients used in Haagen-Dazs products. In recognition of the problem, they released a limited edition flavor, Vanilla Honey Bee.http://www.helpthehoneybees.com/
