To date, La Ibense 1892 -La Ibense Bornay was its original name until a few years ago- is considered the oldest ice cream parlor in Spain. Founded in 1892 by Carlos Bornay, a native of Ibi (Alicante), he set up the company in Sanl\u00facar de Barrameda (C\u00e1diz)<\/strong>. After several crises, it seems that the definitive closure of La Ibense is a reality. The company’s current debt amounted to 12 million euros<\/strong>. The former workers -many of them had been there for more than 30 years- are waiting to know how much they are owed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To understand how this renowned ice cream company has reached this fateful point, we will review a journey that has been full of lights and shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First they started selling ice cream during the summer and the rest of the year they offered cakes and coffee. Until 1965 when they took a leap in their business with the industrial manufacture of ice cream, without abandoning the artisan touch that characterized them. In the 80’s they expanded their plant in the town of C\u00e1diz and had already focused on exporting their product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
