History

Company founder, Domenico Antonelli was born in Picinisco, Lazio, Italy. After moving to the UK, he started to manufacturer ice cream cones and wafers in 1912. [1] Working with his sons Ernest, Luigi and Romolo, the company was known as The International Wafer Company, located at Bridgewater Street, Salford and Ayres Road Old Trafford.

In 1924 the Company started to focus more on the production of biscuits and subsequently changed its name to "International Biscuit Co. Ltd". The biscuit ovens were used to produce 'Iron rations' for the military during WWII when wafer production was banned. Post war business boomed and in 1961, Romolo's sons Ernest, Roland and Victor opened the bakery in Eccles specialising in biscuits for the ice cream trade. On the retirement of Ernest and Victor, Roland took control and in the early 1990s his sons Mark and David joined the business which they still run today, although Roland remains chairman.

Ice cream Frozen dessert

Ice cream is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert. It may be made from milk or cream and is flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit such as strawberries or peaches. It can also be made by whisking a flavored cream base and liquid nitrogen together. Food coloring is sometimes added, in addition to stabilizers. The mixture is cooled below the freezing point of water and stirred to incorporate air spaces and to prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. The result is a smooth, semi-solid foam that is solid at very low temperatures. It becomes more malleable as its temperature increases.
