Description
John Harrison came from a multigenerational family of dairy farmers. Harrison studied chemistry and food science at Memphis State University before going to work for his father’s dairy company. In 1982, Dreyer’s hired Harrison to develop new flavors to augment their fifteen flavors at that time. During his years with Dreyer’s he developed seventy-five new flavors that went to market, including cookies and cream. Harrison became so central to Dreyer’s flavor development that his taste buds were insured for one million dollars. After thirty years with Dreyer’s, Harrison retired in 2010.
