The company’s plant will be honored in the August issue of Dairy Foods.
After over a month of competitive voting on the Dairy Foods’ website, the results are in. Perry’s Ice Cream Co. beat out 12 other dairy plants to win Dairy Foods’ 2019 Plant of the Year. Perry’s produces ice cream, sherbet, sorbet, frozen yogurt and frozen novelties in its Akron, N.Y.-based plant.
Perry’s, which celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2018, remains faithful to the original recipes that brought its initial success. For example, despite its large-scale production, Perry’s plant continues to use traditional methods when making its ice cream. It produces ice cream one batch at a time, a slow process it said helps produce a fuller flavor.
