Mt. Hood Ice Cream...A Continued Northwest Tradition
History...the first time
Mt. Hood Ice Cream Company offered quality ice cream to the Portland area and the great Northwest since 1904. The Mt. Hood Ice Cream Company dedication to excellence and to their customers led to the attraction of other suitors. In 1921, the well-loved Portland Company was acquired along with two other independent ice cream distributors by Crystal Ice & Storage Company. Once acquired, Mt. Hood Ice Cream lost its namesake, eventually Crystal Ice shuttered.
Second time around...new life.
In 2008, the Mt. Hood Ice Cream Company was resurrected to proudly offer the quality ice cream it had served to the great Northwest almost a century ago.
Like many other products that benefit from dedication to excellence, our ice cream is crafted with close attention to quality ingredients and freshness. We believe that the premium ice cream we are proud to offer is created by sourcing local, high-quality ingredients and combining with regional specialties in a small batch approach. Utilizing locally produced ingredients in the shadow of mighty Mt. Hood, we hope you will agree that our ice cream offers the best of dairy goodness.
