Jim is back
Cyclops is delighted to welcome back Jim Small, the person who first developed our yoghurts way back in 1988. Today’s range of premium products all owe their origins to Jim’s invention of recipe and process.
When he started Cyclops Jim was charged with enthusiasm for making better yoghurt than what was available in New Zealand at the time. Coming from outside the dairy industry allowed him to innovate at an artisan level and effectively create the first premium yoghurt. Some of his early innovations were, thicker, Greek style yoghurt, fruit on top and transparent packaging. In the early 90’s Cyclops introduced the first genuine strained Greek yoghurt to the market.
Jim says the reason he is so happy to be back with Cyclops after a few years away is because of the new team that is in place. He says, “the food industry is about more than simply making the best quality product. It requires a lot of other skills and disciplines. The team in place now are highly skilled in what they do which allows me to concentrate on the product and the processes – as I have always loved to do. It’s my dream job!”

😱🚨 Cyclops Shortage 🚨😱
Some of you have noticed that our Greek Yoghurt is out of stock in many stores across NZ 😵💫
Our team worked incredibly hard in 2025, so we decided to fully shut down the factory for the Christmas/New Year period to ensure that everyone got a proper break and some quality time with their loved ones 🎅🩵
We do our best to forecast our production accurately but some things (like viral biscotti yoghurt cheesecakes 🤤🤤) can not be anticipated!! 😅
We have been working long hours to get on top of our supply issues, and should have it back on track by next week.
In the mean time, feel free to reach out on socials and we can let you know what stores have it in stock near you 👨💻
We know nothing else compares to Cyclops Greek Yoghurt so big apologies to those who have been missing it the last few weeks 🫂
Relief is imminent 🩵🥄

Science giving yoghurt another reason to shine! 🔬
New research published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition confirms what we`ve always believed: yoghurt is more than just a delicious snack—it`s a powerhouse for your health 💪
The study reveals that regular yogurt consumption is linked to:
✨ Better metabolic health
✨ Lower risk of type 2 diabetes
✨ Support for healthy body weight
✨ Enhanced gut microbiome
But here`s the real magic: it`s not just about the nutrients. It`s about yoghurt`s unique MATRIX—how the proteins, probiotics, and fermentation work together to deliver real health benefits.
At Cyclops, we`re committed to creating yoghurt that honors this incredible food matrix. Every spoonful is packed with live cultures, quality ingredients, and the kind of nutrition your body recognizes and loves.
Because you deserve more than just good taste. You deserve good health. 👁️
