Graeter's French-pot ice cream is small-batch ice cream made in 2.5-gallon copper pots, hand-folded with chocolate chunks. The black raspberry chocolate chip is the canonical flavor.
Louis Charles Graeter opened a small ice cream shop on Court Street in Cincinnati in 1870. He adapted a French-pot process he had learned, freezing ice cream in 2.5-gallon spinning copper pots one batch at a time. His widow Regina took over after his death in 1919 and grew the business. The same family still runs Graeter's today, with the same French-pot process used across all 50-plus locations in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
