How It All Started
The idea for 3 kaveria ice cream came from three friends: Heikki Huotari, Ilkka Wikholm, and Sauli Saarnisto. They decided they wanted to start making ice cream in 2012.
From a Small Machine to a Big Dream
Their journey began with a simple ice cream machine that cost 300 euro. They started making ice cream with this machine. The very first tub of their ice cream was sold in February 2013.
To make sure their ice cream was the best, the three friends even traveled to Italy. They took a special course there to learn how to make delicious ice cream. The company mostly uses ingredients from Finland in their products.
