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!”

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. 👁️

🥑🥚Turkish-style eggs with avocado 🥚🥑
Creamy, rich and made for dipping. This is a hands-on breakfast or brunch that hits every note. 🥚🥑✨
Silky garlic yoghurt, perfectly poached eggs and warm spiced butter come together with avocado, pickled onions and fresh dill. Serve with plenty of sourdough and don’t be shy with the butter drizzle.
- Ingredients -
• ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 cup Cyclops Natural Greek Yoghurt
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 50 g butter
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp chilli flakes
• 4 large eggs
• Sourdough toast, to serve
• 1 avocado, sliced
• Fresh dill, to finish
• Salt and pepper, to taste
- Method -
1️⃣ Place the sliced red onion in a small bowl with the apple cider vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat and set aside for at least 10 minutes to lightly pickle and soften.
2️⃣ In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yoghurt and crushed garlic with a good pinch of salt. Set aside at room temperature while you prepare the rest.
3️⃣ Melt the butter gently in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the smoked paprika, chilli flakes and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant, then remove from the heat and set aside.
4️⃣ Bring a wide pan of water to a gentle simmer. Poach the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are just set and the yolks remain soft. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels.
5️⃣ To assemble, spoon the garlic yoghurt into shallow bowls and spread it out slightly. Top with the poached eggs and drizzle generously with the spiced butter.
6️⃣ Finish with sliced avocado, pickled red onions and fresh dill. Serve immediately with sourdough toast on the side for dipping.
Rich, savoury, satisfying. Breakfast done right.

We hear a lot about the benefits of animal protein, but not nearly enough about the benefits of animal FATS (and there are plenty).🥛🧈
Animal fats play a fundamental role in human health. They provide essential fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2, which support immune function, bone strength, skin, brain and eye health, and hormone production 🧠👀
Because hormones are made from cholesterol and fats, adequate animal fat intake also supports healthy hormone balance, particularly for women. Animal fats digest more slowly too, helping you feel full and satisfied for longer. 😌
The brain itself is largely made of fat, and saturated (mainly animal) fats and cholesterol are important for nervous system function, mood and cognition. Animal fats also help with nutrient absorption and metabolic health. 🧠✨
Getting your daily dose of Cyclops Yoghurt is a great way to incorporate animal fats into your diet and support your body and your mind! 🥣💜
