Behind the brand

Blue Bell Creameries started in 1907 in Brenham, Texas, making butter from local farmers’ cream. A few years later, they began delivering ice cream by horse and wagon. In 1930, they became Blue Bell Creameries, named after the Texas bluebell wildflower, and in 1958, they focused entirely on ice cream, delighting fans ever since.
