Parravani’s ice cream is carefully made to a family recipe handed down from generation to generation, to traditional batch methods, and using only the best natural ingredients, many sourced locally, but with some only available imported from Italy; authenticity is everything.
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.
We have three ice cream vans for hire and a trike for those special occasions such as weddings, birthdays and general events.
