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!”

Can Cyclops help with weight management? It might 🥣
Including yoghurt as part of a balanced diet may help you feel fuller for longer thanks to its combination of protein and natural dairy goodness. Feeling satisfied after a meal can make it easier to avoid unnecessary snacking throughout the day. 👌
Choosing a thick, natural yoghurt is also a simple way to enjoy a nutritious breakfast or snack. Top it with fresh fruit, nuts or seeds for extra fibre and lasting energy 🍓🥝
At Cyclops, we keep things simple. No artificial additives. No preservatives. Just delicious, thick and creamy yoghurt made the traditional way.
Because healthy habits don`t have to be complicated 💙
Deep in the heart of winter, it’s the perfect time to take a little extra care of yourself. ❄️💜
A bowl of Cyclops yoghurt is a simple, delicious way to add nourishing goodness to your day. Made with quality ingredients and live cultures, it’s a winter fridge staple that’s easy to enjoy from breakfast through to evening snacks.
Stay cosy, stay nourished, and keep enjoying the good stuff. 🥄
Our Natural Greek Yoghurt is all about texture and simplicity. Made with quality milk and traditionally strained, it’s luxuriously thick, smooth and naturally creamy 🇬🇷
No shortcuts. No unnecessary extras. Just beautifully made yoghurt with a rich flavour that works just as well in a breakfast bowl as it does in cooking, baking or savoury dishes. 🥘
From morning rituals to family recipes, there’s a reason Greek yoghurt has been loved for generations 💜
A little tub of goodness, made the Cyclops way since 1988 😎
Whether you love the rich, indulgent texture of our Thick & Creamy Natural, the smooth, protein-rich goodness of our Greek Yoghurt, or prefer something lighter like our 1% Thick & Creamy, there’s a Cyclops yoghurt to fit different tastes and lifestyles.
Since 1988, we’ve believed yoghurt should be made simply, with quality ingredients and no unnecessary additives. Because good food is about balance, not fear. 💜
Which Cyclops tub is your go-to? 👇
Fat got a bad reputation… but maybe it’s time to rethink it. 🥛
For years, we were told to avoid fat, especially animal fats. But nutrition is complex, and dairy fat is more than just a number on a nutrition label.
Naturally occurring dairy fat contains important fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E and K, along with bioactive compounds such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which are naturally present in milk from grass-fed cows.
At Cyclops, we believe there’s room for choice. 💜
Our Thick & Creamy Natural celebrates the rich, creamy goodness of traditional yoghurt. Our Greek Yoghurt is strained to create a thick, smooth texture, and our 1% Thick & Creamy gives you a lighter option if that’s what suits your lifestyle.
Different yoghurts for different preferences, all made with the same Cyclops commitment to quality ingredients and traditional yoghurt making since 1988 🥣
Because good food isn’t about fearing individual nutrients. It’s about understanding the whole picture 👌
