UConn Creamery

UConn Creamery

The UConn Department of Animal Science Creamery (UConn Creamery) was established in the early 1900s. They bottled milk and produced various cheeses and ice cream until 1991 when the plant was downsized and focused on ice cream production. The UConn Dairy Bar opened in 1953 to sell dairy products that were made by the Creamery. All of the ice cream and cheese are produced with fresh milk from UConn’s Kellogg Dairy Center and sold in the UConn Dairy Bar.

The Creamery is used for Dairy Foods research, outreach, and teaching activities. Dr. Dennis D’Amico, Associate Professor of Dairy Foods, utilizes the space to conduct research into food safety, assist with cheese making, and conduct student labs. Twenty-four regular flavors of ice cream, two seasonal flavors, and the occasional limited edition flavors are produced in this facility. The Creamery’s cheese and ice cream has won awards year after year.
