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!”

🍰Vanilla Bean Burnt Basque cheesecake🍰
This delicious burnt Basque cheesecake is made with just a handful of ingredients and is so quick and easy to pull together. Featuring Cyclops Vanilla Bean Greek Yoghurt - it`s at its best when made ahead, as the flavour and texture improve with time.
- Ingredients -
▪️1 ½ cups Cyclops vanilla bean yoghurt
▪️750g cream cheese, at room temperature
▪️1 cup caster sugar
▪️5 large eggs
▪️2 tbsp plain flour
▪️½ tsp salt
- Instructions-
▪️Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Line a 20cm springform tin with two squares of baking paper, overlapping them so they form a cross. Let the paper come well up the sides to get that rustic, crinkled look and enough height to support the batter as it puffs.
▪️In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy - about 2–3 minutes. A hand mixer or stand mixer works best here.
▪️Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the yoghurt, then sift in the flour and salt and mix until just combined.
▪️Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is deeply golden and the centre still has a visible wobble when gently shaken (start checking around 30 minutes if your oven runs hot.) The cake will continue to set as it cools, so don’t worry if the centre still looks quite soft straight from the oven.
▪️Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for about an hour — it will deflate slightly. Transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
▪️Serve chilled or at room temperature, with an extra spoonful of vanilla bean yoghurt if you like.
