The
Brenham Creamery Company began in 1907 making butter from excess cream the
local farmers brought. A few years later, they decided to make ice cream. They
delivered in town by horse and wagon. In 1930, the company changed its name to
Blue Bell Creameries in honor of the native Texas bluebell wildflower. They
continued to make butter until 1958 when they started making ice cream full
time. We are so glad they did!
Here’s
the Scoop on Blue Bell Creamery
They churn out 240 little cups of ice cream
and
50 half gallons of ice cream per
minute!
It takes 50,000 cows to produce the milk for one day’s worth of ice cream.
The work area is kept at a cool 62°.
The ice cream is sent to the blast freezer overnight where the wind
chill is -100°
We could have taken
the stairs but how do you resist this adorable elevator?
💗 A duo, it’s true-o,
it’s forever me and you-o 💗
I have found my dream
job!
Heaven in a cup!
Skipper and I had a scoop of the pecan pralines ‘n cream and Jessica chose mint chocolate
chip.
I will admit to moaning out loud with the first few bites until I caught myself!
Blue
Bell is only available in 22 states but ranks as one of the top-selling ice
creams in the country. If you just can’t resist the urge to try some of the
country’s best ice cream, you can order it to be shipped anywhere in the USA,
but it will cost you a pretty penny. Check their website for prices but don’t panic,
it also tells you how to have a friend ship it to you.
If you are ever in the Houston area, Brenham is a little over an hour away. The Blue Bell Creamery is worth the drive and fun tasty way to spend a couple of hours.
Blue Bell has some wonderful commercials but this is one always made my
father-in-law laugh so it is my favorite.
