Berthillon: Paris's Legendary Artisan Ice Cream Maker Since 1954
Berthillon's offerings represent the highest expression of artisanal ice cream making, with each flavor crafted according to traditional recipes that have been refined over seven decades. The glacier's commitment to using only natural products and fresh seasonal fruits results in intensely flavored frozen desserts that showcase the pure essence of each ingredient. This dedication to quality and authenticity has earned Berthillon recognition as one of the world's finest ice cream destinations.
The product range is organized into four distinct categories, each offering unique taste experiences. The classic collection honors traditional French ice cream flavors with perfect execution, while the innovative range explores unusual and original flavor combinations that surprise and delight adventurous palates. The almond-based creations showcase the versatility of this ingredient, and the alcohol-infused varieties offer sophisticated options for adult tastes. Among these extensive offerings, certain flavors have achieved iconic status: the salted butter caramel delivers the perfect balance of sweet and savory, while the gianduja hazelnut exemplifies the rich, nutty complexity that defines premium ice cream.
The sorbets deserve special mention, particularly the chocolate sorbet, which many consider the finest in the world for its intense, pure chocolate flavor that rivals any ice cream. Fresh fruit sorbets change with the seasons, ensuring that each visit offers new discoveries based on what's at peak ripeness. This seasonal approach extends to special offerings like marrons glacés during autumn and winter, and classic desserts like the coupe Belle Hélène that showcase how traditional French pastry concepts translate beautifully into frozen form.
The variety of flavors available reflects both respect for tradition and willingness to innovate, with fresh fruit combinations and original associations that demonstrate the glacier's ongoing creativity. Each scoop represents the culmination of artisanal techniques passed down through generations, combined with the finest ingredients available. Whether you choose a single flavor or create your own combination, you're experiencing ice cream craftsmanship at its absolute finest, where every element—from ingredient selection to production method to final presentation—receives meticulous attention.
