Origins of Ice Cream

The origins of frozen desserts are obscure although several accounts exist about their history. Some sources describe ice cream-like foods as originating in Persia as far back as 550 BCE while others claim that the Roman Emperor Nero had ice collected from the Apennine Mountains to produce the first sorbet mixed with honey and wine. Although sorbets are believed to have been invented in Persia, other accounts say ice cream originated in the Mongol Empire and first spread to China during its expansion.

Its spread throughout Europe is sometimes attributed to Arab traders, but more often to Marco Polo. Though it's not mentioned in any of his writings, Polo is often credited with introducing sorbet-style desserts to Italy after learning of it during his travels to China. The Italian duchess Catherine de' Medici is said to have introduced flavored sorbet ices to France when she brought some Italian chefs with her to France upon marrying the Duke of Orléans (Henry II of France) in 1533. One hundred years later, Charles I of England was reportedly so impressed by the "frozen snow" that he offered his own ice cream maker a lifetime pension in return for keeping the formula secret, so that ice cream could be a royal prerogative. There is no evidence to support any of these legends.

Welcome To Julz Wholesale Ice Cream and Candies

 

Julz Ice Cream and Candies, formerly known as Naidu’s Ice cream has been a family-owned business in West Sacramento for the past 30+ years. We are a wholesale Novelty warehouse specializing in brand names like Blue Bunny, Good Humor, Its It, Wonder, Ben & Jerry’s, M & M Mars, Delicias, and Rich’s to name a few. We serve the local ice cream truck vendors, mini marts, schools, churches, company picnics, and the general public in any event that needs ice cream.

 

My father, Mr. Naidu, started as an ice cream vendor on the streets of Dixon, California, 30 years ago. We all grew up selling ice cream on the streets of Dixon. As soon as we got our driver’s license, our father gave us an ice cream truck to teach us responsibility and the value of a hard-earned dollar. Even until this day, we are known as THE ICE CREAM family in Dixon. I remember throwing candies out from the trucks at the Dixon Mayfair Parade. Good times!

 

Today our pride and joy is this wholesale novelty warehouse, which is operated by my husband, Ravi, my two sons, Shivam and Avineet, and me, Julz. We are open seven days a week from 8am to 1pm, weather permitting. Our hours change for the winter months. But whether hot or cold, ice cream is a treat that everyone loves to eat.
