The Selecta Story: How it all began
• The Selecta ice cream brand can trace its roots way back to 1933 when Ramon
Arce, Sr. started his carabao milk business in Novaliches. Soon after putting
the business up, he and his wife Carmen began making their own ice cream
recipes made from the carabao milk and sold these in the iconic gold tin
containers. Since then, the taste and quality of Selecta ice cream have been the
priority of the founders and the company today.
