It all began just over 40 years ago in a Florentine gelateria, with a young, ambitious man and a cherished traditional recipe. Chris Pahitas, after being allowed in on the secret how-tos of artisanal Italian gelato, returned to Cyprus, rolled up his sleeves and went straight to work. A few years later, in 1981, he had perfected the traditional recipe for large-scale production and Pahit Ice ice-cream became available to the public for the very first time. The islanders embraced this newly arrived delicacy, relishing the fine, consistent flavour and quality that made the ice-cream stand out.
With the early 1990s came the delightful launch of Pahit Ice’s Fruity Yogurt, which offered a lighter, deliciously refreshing alternative to the traditional gelato. This gave Cypriot ice-cream lovers the chance to create their own blends of exotic fruits and fro-yo that was guaranteed to hit the spot every time.
By 2005, a second generation of family members began working full-time for the brand, which lead to greater modernization of the practices used, but with the same, unchanged devotion to delivering the desserts’ renowned quality every time.
Today, our gamme of irresistible treats and drinks has something for every palate: ice-cream, sorbet, fruity yogurt, crêpes, waffles and milkshakes, all made with the same commitment to outstanding flavour and quality – every time.
