From the Beginning
Back in 1925, a company named Dairymen's rented space from Maui Soda & Ice Works to store the livestock feed and wine it distributed and to "make" its Velvet Ice Cream brand. In 1932, Dairymen's decided to quit the ice cream business...and Maui Soda Manager Manuel Nobriga decided to get into it. (His grandchildren sometimes wonder why he didn't get interested in wine instead.)

Manuel perfected making ice cream from scratch and created his own flavors -- flavors so delicious and well-received that many of his original recipes are still used to this day. Those flavors -- most notably the best-selling Haupia -- as well as additional flavors perfected by his son, Buddy Nobriga, have been passed down to Buddy's only daughter, Cathy Nobriga Kim, who runs the ice cream operation today.

When Cathy assumed the mantel of Roselani Ice Cream Vice President of Production, she attended food technology courses on the mainland to insure Roselani was keeping up with top industry standards. She learned Dad and Grandpa had it right from the start -- their recipes held true, ingredients and techniques simply had new names.

Roselani Ice Cream brought in the new millennium marking a monumental milestone. The company invested $2.5 million in major manufacturing plant upgrades and began establishing sales statewide in markets, restaurants and dipping parlors. So wherever you are in Hawai'i, you too can enjoy our flavors of the islands.

"Temper" for maximum enjoyment!
Here's some advice from a master, Roselani's "Buddy" Nobriga:
--Take the ice cream out of your home freezer and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to temper it. This guarantees you will be enjoying the flavors as they were meant to taste. Otherwise, you're just freezing your tastebuds. No cheating, now! Keep that ice cream off the kitchen counter and definitely out of the microwave!
