Origin of Ice Cream Traced to 16th Century Italy
The history shows ice cream or similar frozen desserts appearing in the mid 1500s in France from Italy. By 1630 a Sicilian ran Cafe Procure in Paris, making ice cream a Parisian specialty. The first New York advertisement appeared in 1786 and Joseph Fussell started the wholesale ice cream business in Baltimore in 1851. Annual production nears 350 million gallons, about three gallons per person, aiding dairy and nutrition.
