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!”

Do you know Cyclops is good for your skin on the inside and on the out? 🧖♂️
Clear skin starts in the gut, because a healthy gut microbiome helps regulate inflammation throughout the body, which has a direct impact on skin conditions like acne, eczema, and general dullness. Probiotic-rich foods like Cyclops yoghurt support the gut environment that keeps things in balance ⚖
Our yoghurt also contains high amounts of lactic acid, an AHA proven to be successful in refining pores, exfoliating the skin and stimulating collagen production. Unlike most other exfoliants that are harsh, it gently cleanses the skin and is suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. Plus, its thick and creamy texture lends a paste-like consistency that`s ideal for any face mask 👽
Mixing our yoghurt with other nourishing additions, such as honey, avocado, matcha, or turmeric, can all add more benefits to your face mask 🍯🥑

No single food does everything, but some foods do a lot 👩🍳
Cyclops yoghurt brings protein, calcium, live cultures, and B vitamins to a balanced day 😎
It`s easy to eat, easy to pair, and genuinely versatile. Sometimes eating well is less about nailing the perfect diet and more about adding things that reliably do good. A spoonful at a time🥄 🥄
Wishing everyone a warm and meaningful Matariki, however you choose to celebrate 🌌💜🌟
Here`s something not everyone knows: removing lactose actually makes yoghurt naturally sweeter.
That`s because lactose gets broken down into glucose and galactose by the added lactase enzyme, leaving a sweeter taste with the same grams of sugar per serve.
This allowed us to make a delicious Vanilla LF yoghurt, with the bonus of no added sugar 😎
Smooth, creamy, probiotic, and made for people who want the dairy experience without the digestive discomfort. Real vanilla. No sugar added. No compromise 👏🩵
