Gunther's History | Jugglin' Joe | Menu | Location Map

   What gives Gunther's Ice Cream its superior taste?

.....a combination of high quality processing, the use of all natural ingredients, and the  rich percentage of the cream we use.

Since its founding here in Sacramento in 1940 by W.H. "Pop" Gunther, Gunther's QUALITY Ice Cream has thrived on his principle:

"THE ONLY THING THAT WE WILL DO TO PROMOTE THIS BUSINESS IS TO GIVE THE CUSTOMER HIS MONEY'S WORTH."

Gunther's Ice Cream uses a slow, hand-controlled "Batch Freezer Method" to process their ice cream. This method is similar to the hand cranked ice cream machines used in the early 1900's.  

In the production of making the ice cream we use a 16% butterfat  cream which is considerably higher than commercial brands who use 10-12% butterfat cream. The use of higher butterfat and the combination of slower processing produces a richer, creamier ice cream. The ingredients that we add to the ice cream are the finest ingredients available.

Gunther's Ice Cream is only available in Specialty Ice Cream outlets, top rated restaurants and selective companies.  It is not sold in any grocery stores or commercial outlets.
