It all began in 1960 with two Polish immigrants from the Bronx. 60 years ago, two Polish immigrants from the Bronx decided to create a new luxury in ice cream. They invented a recipe, dreamed up a name and made it happen.

Today, the Häagen-Dazs brand is owned by General Mills. General Mills produces the ice cream sold in Europe in a factory built by the Mattuses in 1992 - not in Scandanavia, but in France. However, in the states, the product is licensed to Nestlé and produced by that company's Dreyer's brand.
