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.

About Us - Jim 1

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!”

Not all yoghurts are created equal 👀  When choosing a yoghurt for protein, always check per 100g, not per serving. Many brands show per serving figures, which can vary a lot and make their protein look higher than it is.  Dairy yoghurt also contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source. Plant-based alternatives may work as a cooking substitute, but they really do not compare nutritionally. 💪  Real food. Real protein. No additives. 🩵
Did you know that your gut and your brain are constantly talking to each other?  There's a direct communication pathway between your digestive system and your brain called the gut-brain axis 🔃  It means the state of your gut can actually influence your mood, focus, stress levels and overall mental wellbeing. In fact, around 90% of your body's serotonin — the feel-good hormone — is produced in the gut, not the brain🤰  One of the best ways to support a healthy gut is through live probiotic cultures, which are the beneficial bacteria found naturally in real yoghurt. Cyclops yoghurt contains live probiotic cultures in every pot, working quietly in the background to help keep your gut, and your mind, in good shape 🧠🩵
Even the dogs know what's good 🤤🩵  Cyclops Lactose Free Natural yoghurt is great for sensitive tummies.... human or otherwise 🐶
