A 45 Year Tradition of Quality McConnell's Fine Ice Creams was founded in Santa
Barbara, CA, in 1949 by Mr. Gordon F. McConnell right here on the corners of State and
Mission streets. McConnell, a decorated WWII pilot, developed his now famous ice cream
recipes and production methods as a healthful way to speed his recovery from injuries he
suffered during the war. McConnell
created recipes which called for nothing but the most select ingredients available.
McConnell's ice cream (then just the corner store) was purchased in 1963 by Mr. Jim McCoy
(seen here on opening day!). McCoy has since enjoyed tremendous success with his culinary
adventure. You can now discover McConnell's in literally hundreds of markets, select
restaurants and ice cream shops across the country in pint containers, 3-gallon bulk, as
well as private label products. What Makes McConnell's So Special When choosing our raw
ingredients; from our local fresh cream to our bourbon vanilla beans, Guittard chocolates,
Hawaiian macadamia nuts, Pacific Northwest fruit and blended coffees from Columbia; price
is not a significant factor. McConnell's uses only the most select ingredients for all
grades of our ice creams. And McConnell's pledges that no artificial ingredients or
stabilizers are used, whatsoever, in our products. It's no insult
that our trademark Super Premium ice cream is called "The densest in town!" A
3-gallon tub weighs 24 pounds (A comparable competitor's brand can weigh as little as 13
lbs.). The relative density of ice cream is described in terms of "overrun",
which is a percent measurement of air that enters ice cream during the manufacturing
process. We hold McConnell's Super Premium ice creams to only 15% overrun making them the creamiest available. If a lighter brand is what
you prefer for your store or restaurant, then McConnell's uses the same hand picked
ingredients and expertise to produce our select Santa Barbara Ice Cream line. Our Super
Premium, Santa Barbara and Fruit Sorbet products are available in an exciting flavor spectrum. |
