CELEBRATING 110 YEARS
HOW IT BEGAN
In 1903, a young Joseph Dager immigrated from Lebanon via Ellis Island to Ohio. Settling in Utica and officially founding the company in 1914, he commenced crafting ice cream in the basement of a confectionery, introducing three flavors: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.
Within two years, the company was producing 200 gallons of ice cream monthly, and the creamy, velvety texture inspired the name: Velvet Ice Cream.
