Jordino

A 1993 father-and-son business that still makes its ice cream by hand in the same shop, with a named maker (Job) still behind the counter three decades on, and an independent top-5 placing among Amsterdam's 18 most-tested salons.

What we know

  • Founded 1993 as a father-and-son business: Job (then 48, with experience from various companies) and Jordi (then 18, with a patisserie education) (jordino.nl 'Over ons bedrijf')
  • Ice cream is still made fresh in-store on the Haarlemmerdijk, according to the business's own recipe, by Job — now past pension age — with a recipe developed to use as little sugar as possible (jordino.nl)
  • Sorbet made from fresh fruit or fruit puree; cream ice cream made from pure, high-quality ingredients only (jordino.nl)
  • Around 24 ice cream flavours in stock at any time out of 100+ that rotate through the year with the seasons (jordino.nl)
  • Ranked #5 of 18 in Mokum Magazine's 2025 blind taste test: "De chocobol is subliem: vol, fluweelachtig en puur. Dat verbaast ons niks bij een gerenommeerde chocolatier" (Mokum Magazine, 2025-07-01)
