The Parravani’s ice cream business has now spanned over a century, making it by far the oldest business of its kind in Norfolk, and the coincidence of this find has amazed the Parravani family, who still own and run the business to this day. The ice cream is now made in Chedgrave with
full cream milk and butter, based on the family recipe handed down from Giuseppe.
Dominic Parravani comments, “We were amazed when my father came home with the photograph; it is the only picture we have of my great great uncle, and it just reminded us that the Parravanis were making ice cream in Norwich in the 1890’s. Sometimes we forget to shout about how long established we are; we have been supplying traditional home made ice cream for over 110 years”
The Ice cream can now be found being served throughout the summer outside the Forum in the heart of Norwich!
