    Syracuse Athletics Ice Cream Flavor Developed by Syracuse University Alumna Now Available in Grocery Stores

    Perry’s Ice Cream Introduces Otto’s Cupcake

     

    Akron, N.Y. – January 20, 2014 – The wait is over! Otto’s Cupcake Ice Cream is now also available in Tops Markets and soon to come to other grocery stores selling Perry’s Ice Cream. This flavor was launched last fall, and was available only at the Syracuse University Dome and at the few ice cream stands that are open during the winter months.

    The flavor named after the S.U. team mascot, Otto, was developed by Eilish Mitchell ‘12, Syracuse University graduate who works for Perry’s Ice Cream in the Quality Assurance and Research & Development Department. Avid supporter of the Orange, Eilish was thrilled when she heard that there was a need to develop a flavor for S.U. Athletics. “I knew that the flavor would have to have orange in it, but orange ice cream isn’t really a popular flavor,” says Mitchell. She tried and tried, and finally, she struck gold: “Chocolate cupcakes with orange frosting!” The flavor got team buy-in really quickly and will now be enjoyed by Orange fans everywhere Perry’s Ice Cream is sold.

    This chocolate cupcake ice cream with orange colored frosting swirls and chocolate cupcake pieces not only delights all your senses, but it is also proof of the Perry family’s long-standing commitment to supporting college sports and the communities it serves. The product boasts the flavor and creaminess you expect from Perry’s and was very well received by S.U. fans and consumers alike. Through its affiliation with Syracuse University Athletics, Tops Markets is the first grocery chain to carry Otto’s Cupcake, with other fine retailers such as Wegmans, Price Chopper, and Olean Wholesale following suit shortly thereafter.

    Consumers can scoop up Otto’s Cupcake at the S.U. Carrier Dome, independent ice cream stands, and retail locations across New York State, Western Pennsylvania, Northeastern Ohio, Vermont and Virginia.

  • Perry’s Ice Cream Celebrates 95 Years with Limited Edition Anniversary Flavor

    Perry's Ice Cream 95th Anniversary Logo

    Introducing the WNY Favorite, Sponge Candy Ice Cream to Retail

    Akron, N.Y. – October 1, 2013 – In honor of its 95th year in business, Perry’s Ice Cream is celebrating with the release of a limited edition anniversary flavor fitting of its hometown in Western New York, Sponge Candy.

    Sponge Candy is caramel sugar flavored ice cream with caramelized sugar swirls and sponge candy pieces.  Similar to the chicken wing, sponge candy has a cult-like following among Buffalonians. “This summer we introduced Sponge Candy at our ice cream stands and the consumer response has been tremendous,” said Bob Denning, president and chief executive officer. “When we began discussing a 95th flavor, Sponge Candy was the top choice to honor both four generations of ice cream craftsmanship and our community that has supported us for almost a century.”

    Perry's Ice Cream Limited Edition 95th Anniversary Sponge Candy

    Perry’s humble beginnings date back to 1918, a time when H. Morton Perry, a broom maker by trade, seized his American dream by purchasing a horse-drawn milk route in the village of Akron.  On his first day of business, Morton delivered 29 gallons of farm fresh milk to the homes of his new customers.

    During the Great Depression, Morton was asked by the cafeteria manager at Akron Central School to supply ice cream to the children as a treat. Morton responded with his usual eagerness and entrepreneurial spirit.  The first batch of Perry’s Ice Cream was cooked on the kitchen stove using his mother’s family recipe.  Morton, with the help of his 17 year-old son Marlo, would freeze the mix in a hand-churned ice and salt freezer. Marlo would deliver it when he went to school the next day.

    “You never know until after it happens, that moment that will create your legacy,” said Brian Perry, executive vice president, vice chair and fourth generation Perry family member.  “For my great-grandfather that moment there at the kitchen stove would come to define who we are, even in today’s fast paced business world. He is known for saying “make sure we put enough of the ‘good’ stuff” in our products.  95 years later, that is still our company and my family’s promise for everything we do.”

    As demand grew, Morton applied the same principles that made his milk sales successful.  He increased his production capacity from the two gallon hand-churned freezer to an electric five gallon batch freezer and began to deliver ice cream to local stores, restaurants and schools, offering exceptional service.

    Today, Perry’s is one of the largest ice cream producers in New York State, led by the fourth generation of the Perry family. With over 330 associates they make approximately 500 different items totaling over 12 million gallons per year. Perry’s matchless products, based on the family recipe from H. Morton Perry’s mother, are still made the old-fashioned way – slow cooked to creamy perfection.  Fresh local dairy products and the finest ingredients are sourced for all Perry’s Ice Cream products.

    Sponge Candy is now available in your grocer’s freezer section in locations across New York State, Western Pennsylvania, Northeastern Ohio, Vermont and Virginia.

    Perry’s is offering a $1.00 off any 1.50 qts. retail carton via their Facebook page.  Click the link here (http://a.pgtb.me/lmjj9j) to access the coupon.

  • And the New 2013 Flavors Are…

    It’s Time to Drop by Your Local Ice Cream Stand… Perry’s new 2013 flavors have arrived!!!

    Lactose Free Vanilla: we bet if you let your friends and family try this vanilla without telling them it is lactose free, they wouldn’t be able to guess! It was a favorite of many Perry’s team members at our annual company meeting, and you simply have to try it! It makes sense for us to be so confident you’ll like it, since the only difference between our regular premium vanilla and our premium lactose free vanilla is the absence of lactose.

    Needless to say, this flavor is BIG NEWS for those who are lactose intolerant – trips to an ice cream stand are equal opportunity for all from now on!

     

    Sponge Candy: caramel sugar flavored ice cream with caramelized sugar swirls and sponge candy pieces.

    Ice cream stands that  have already opened for the season, like Green Acres Ice Cream, 2 Scoops Ice Cream, Frosty’s Ice Cream couldn’t keep this Buffalo-inspired flavor in stock and have to asked for urgent additional delivery. Need we say more?

    Movie Time: Popcorn flavored ice cream with sea salt caramel swirls and caramel truffles.  Try it and you’ll see why this flavor was named 2013’s “Most Innovative” by the International Dairy Foods Association (aka the trusted authority on all things ice cream).

    Fair warning: make sure you have time to see a movie after you try this flavor. We don’t think you’ll be able to fight the temptation!

    Oh My, Cherry Pie! Vanilla ice cream with cherry and graham cracker swirls.

    What can be better than a homemade cherry pie? Our answer is: cherry pie ala mode, served chilled, in an ice cream cone.

    Queen Of Hearts: Dark chocolate ice cream with raspberry swirls and fudge filled hearts.

    An ultimate indulgence! Let’s just say we are quite confident that dark chocolate lovers will really enjoy this flavor.

    You will be able to find all of these new flavors at ice cream stands that have already opened for the season.  An easy way to find any flavor nearby is by using our flavor finder tool: https://dev-perrys-ice-cream.pantheonsite.io/where-to-buy/.
