Introduction
Mövenpick Ice Cream is an Ice Cream Brand of Swiss origin. In April 2003, Nestlé bought the international rights for Mövenpick Ice Cream. The headquarters of this autonomous unit are based in Lausanne whereas the production is in the German part of Switzerland, in Rorschach (SG).
Mövenpick Ice Cream’s philosophy
An ice cream born of a passion for gastronomy, blessed with the best that nature can provide and fashioned with Swiss perfection.
Passion for Gastronomy
Mövenpick ice creams are made for the menus of “haute cuisine”. Each flavour is a masterpiece of culinary inspiration, a work of gastronomic art, sure to delight any discerning gourmet and the most demanding chefs.
Best of nature
Mövenpick products use only the finest ingredients, always selected with the greatest care and always processed in a natural manner with no artificial colours or flavourings.
Swiss Perfection
The uniquely creamy lightness of a Mövenpick Ice Cream requires the most precise regulation and constant supervision. The same care and attention is applied to every detail of the recipe. Another dimension of perfection is presentation – taking the care to make an Ice Cream that will look its very best when you scoop it.
