Murphys Ice Cream facts for kids
Murphys Ice Cream is a special food company from Dingle, a town in County Kerry, Ireland. It's famous for making delicious ice cream and desserts. They also serve coffees.
The company uses milk from a unique type of cow called Kerry cattle. These cows are special because they are a native Irish breed.
Murphys Ice Cream was started in 2000 by two brothers, Seán and Kieran Murphy. They had a big dream: to create the "best ice cream in the world." They are known for making many different flavors, some common and some quite unusual, like brown bread and sea salt ice cream!
How Murphys Ice Cream Grew
Expanding Their Business
Murphys Ice Cream started small, but it quickly became popular. In 2003, the company moved to a new, bigger place where they could make more ice cream. This allowed them to start selling their tasty treats to local restaurants and shops.
In 2005, Murphys Ice Cream opened a second shop. This new shop was located on Main Street in Killarney, another beautiful town in County Kerry.
Supporting Local Farms
In 2006, Murphys Ice Cream made an important decision. They began using milk specifically from Kerry cattle. This helped support the farmers who raise this special Irish cow breed.
Over the years, Murphys Ice Cream has continued to grow. They now have a shop in Dublin, the capital city of Ireland, on Wicklow Street. They also have a seasonal shop in Tig Áine's, Ballyferriter, which is open during certain times of the year.
