Peters Ice Cream

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peters Ice Cream is an Australian ice cream brand developed by former American Fred Peters in the 1930s, using his mother's recipe. The company (Petersville Australia Limited) became based in the Melbourne suburb of Mulgrave from the 1960s until it was taken over by Adsteam in the late 1980s. Subsequently, the ice cream division was acquired by Nestlé, who still produces many Australian icon brands (such as 'Choc-Wedge', 'Drumstick', 'Eskimo Pie') under the Peters Ice Cream logo in all Australian states except Western Australia, where the company Peters and Brownes holds the trademark and continues to produce a similar line of products. In this state, Nestlé is forced to use different packaging on the reduced line of ice creams it sells.
