Frogner-Is was a Norwegian ice cream maker in Oslo, founded in 1928 by Richard Vatn, a former dairy manager.[1] The business started at Frogner and moved in 1936 to a new factory at Skøyen, and it was one of many ice cream brands of the period, marketing products such as the Polarpinne ice lolly under a twin-penguin logo.[1]
Around 1950 Nora Fabrikker became an important partner, and from 1954 the factory was known as Nora Is – Frogner Is. Facing growing competition from the dairies' Diplom-Is, Nora ended ice cream production in 1965 and sold the operation to Fellesmeieriene, bringing Frogner-Is to an end.[1]
