Meet Andia

As the only female Grand Master Ice Cream Chef in both the South and Southeast regions of the United States--and one of only a handful of two-time Grand Master winners-- Andia Xouris stands out among an elite group of ice cream chefs across the nation. Her Double Dark Chocolate has won multiple blue ribbons—the superstar flavor that ultimately secured her Grand Master title.

Andia serves as CEO and Co-founder of Andia's Ice Cream, a beloved family business with multiple locations in North Carolina. This stay-at-home mom turned business entrepreneur also has a flourishing catering division and national shipping department, satisfying people's sweet tooths internationally via the beloved gourmet food website Goldbelly.

A James Beard fellow, Andia led her company to national recognition on Good Morning America and Southern Living Magazine.

While immigrating to the United States at age six, Andia quickly cultivated a passion for innovation. Today, she's known for her premium, inclusive flavors—often inspired by her Cypriot roots and passion for learning other cultures—and her ability to turn any wild idea into a household favorite.
