Ishuset (The Ice House), Aarhus

The Ice House (Ishuset) in Aarhus offers a delightful experience for ice cream enthusiasts. Located in the scenic Marselisborg Port, the Ice House is renowned not only for its wide selection of ice creams but also for the beautiful view it provides of Aarhus Harbor. This makes it an essential visit for anyone in the city.

Opening annually at Easter and closing in the winter, the Ice House showcases an impressive range of ice cream flavors. With 68 types including favorites like amarena, bambina, and caramel, the parlor ensures a rich variety to suit all tastes. On any given day, patrons can choose from up to 28 different flavors, all made in-house.

What sets Ishuset apart is its commitment to traditional methods of ice cream making. The ice cream is crafted on-site using old-fashioned techniques. The base is made primarily from organic whole milk which is pasteurized and matured to achieve the best possible consistency and result in the finished product. This process highlights their dedication to quality and the Italian-inspired approach to their craft.

Since its inception in 2005, the Ice House has become a beloved spot for locals and tourists, serving as a refreshing destination at Marselisborg Harbour. The ice cream parlor prides itself on using seasonal fruits and berries, a practice they refer to as "ICE CREAM WITH ATTITUDES." This not only enhances the flavor of their offerings but also aligns with sustainable practices by utilizing seasonal produce.
