Graeter’s, the Cincinnati-based ice cream maker renowned for its unique and creamy frozen treats, has delighted fans with the announcement that its beloved Banana Chocolate Chip flavor is now a permanent fixture in their lineup.
Founded in 1860, Graeter’s holds the title of the oldest family-owned ice cream maker in the United States. The brand’s signature Banana Chocolate Chip flavor, a rich banana base packed with chocolate chips, has long been a fan favorite. The ice cream’s distinct flavor profile is described as “a chocolate-dipped banana in a scoop,” according to Bob Graeter, a member of the founding family. “It also happens to be my daughter’s favorite flavor!”
What sets Graeter’s apart from other ice cream brands is its use of a small-batch French pot process, a handcrafted technique that delivers an ultra-creamy texture. This method has contributed to the ice cream’s loyal following, with many fans praising its high quality and delicious taste.
Until recently, the Banana Chocolate Chip flavor was only available as a seasonal offering, typically in July. However, this year, the flavor made an unexpected early return to store shelves in mid-March, prompting widespread excitement among customers. The best part? Graeter’s has announced that, after years of demand, Banana Chocolate Chip will now be available year-round.
“We’re so excited that Banana Chocolate Chip is here to stay,” one enthusiastic fan commented. “This is a win for us banana lovers.”
The flavor is currently available at Graeter’s scoop shops and for nationwide shipping through Graeters.com. While there is no word yet on whether it will be available at major grocery retailers, fans are already celebrating the fact that this seasonal favorite is now a permanent offering.
For those who have been eagerly awaiting its return, Banana Chocolate Chip is no longer just a summer treat—it’s here for good.
