Historical Context
Steve Herrell has been in the ice cream business since 1973 when he opened Steve's Ice Cream in Somerville, Massachusetts. Steve's went on to become a national brand after Herrell sold the business in 1977.
Back in '73 when Herrell entered the ice cream business, the only other premium ice cream-maker was Häagen-Dazs. Herrell recognized the need for better ice cream. What makes one ice cream better than another? One factor is low "overrun." Overrun refers to the amount of air that's stirred into the ice cream as it freezes. To reduce overrun, Herrell slowed the motor on his first ice cream maker. Because it spins slower, less air is whipped in. Since Herrell's change, manufacturers have started selling ice cream makers that operate at a slower speed. With less air, the ice cream is denser and each bite has more substance. It takes longer to melt and stays in your mouth longer.
Herrell is known for his inventive flavors and ice cream combinations. He originated the practice of mixing candy bars and nuts into ice cream -- calling them "smoosh-ins"-- and was the first to come out with flavors like Oreo Cookie ice cream and Heath Bar ice cream.
