About us
L'Artisan Glacier SA is an artisanal ice cream producer based in La Conversion in the canton of Vaud, Lausanne region. Founded in 1935, the family business produces around 100 varieties of ice creams and sorbets according to traditional recipes that have been maintained over three generations. The raw materials are carefully selected: for the sorbets (sorbet plein fruit), fruits harvested at full ripeness are used; for the ice creams, base products come predominantly from Swiss agriculture. The product range spans classic to original flavours as well as waffles and accessories. Customers include private customers as well as the gastronomy sector. An online ordering platform enables the processing of orders; the delivery area is Switzerland. For spring 2020, standardisation according to ISO 22000 was planned in order to ensure consistent quality and traceability. The managing director is Paolo Gervasi, who continues the tradition of the craft founded by his grandfather.
