Wherever and at any age, the joy felt when enjoying a delicious ice cream has, as it were, the same intensity and purity as those experienced by a child. Always like good news, ice cream has the superpower to brighten and brighten any face.
Many years ago, on the streets of Romanian villages, young and old people, with the same enthusiasm, gathered around the most beloved of earthlings – those who made and offered ice cream. Made in a barrel, in snow, with salt and ice, the hard work was fully rewarded more by the wide smiles and by the feeling that any day can be better…just with an ice cream. Through this truth, the Ice Cream Barrel was born, which tells a story through each ice cream made.

Yes, it is actually an ice barrel, with a capacity of 50 kg, in which ZERO ice cream is prepared, with natural, carefully chosen ingredients that meet high quality standards. A large stainless steel pot is placed in the barrel in which the full-fat milk and cream for each assortment are mixed, until the contents freeze.
“It is a business that I started to show people that Romanians can do something other than import things. I set out to bring tradition into modernity. I started in 2011, with some ice cream trucks that I used to drive between blocks of flats in Bucharest. Not having too many events, I told myself that I had to find something, something that I could go to the heart with”, confesses Adrian.
An innovative and honest concept, which came to life in 2015, Butoiul cu Inghetata is a Romanian brand, which makes and sells traditional artisanal ice cream.
