The History

It all began away back in 1982, it was part of a family grocery business, but as its popularity grew it needed an identity all of its own. The head of the family business at that time was called Maud and that sounded perfect and so on Mother’s Day 1982 the very first Mauds Ice Creams sign was erected over the shop in Carnmoney .

Right from the start raw ingredients were sourced from top producers. Fresh milk and cream came from local farms and they imported the finest flavours from all over Europe . That was well over 21 years ago but some things never change.

Nowadays, Mauds Ice Creams is made in a bright new production facility filled with latest state-of-the-art ice cream machinery, but thay are still using the best local ingredients available and have developed close relationships with a number of quality food producers across Europe. Producers supply Mauds with a large range of fruits and delicious confections to add to our basic recipe to produce a mouth-watering range of flavours.
