Our secret is out…. the rumours are true…. we’ve made our most delicious ice cream yet.

 At the International Cheese Awards in the UK recently, Fonterra cheeses and a butter scooped up 12 gold, silver and bronze medals, plus Kapiti Creamy Havati  took out the trophy for best New Zealand cheese.

People have always wanted to stay healthy but how we approach our health today is markedly different from a few years ago. Not so long ago, health and wellness meant a lack of disease and illness. 

Well for Ice Cream Innovation Manager, Esraa El Shall, it’s a normal day’s work.  

“If we continue to find better, more innovative ways to improve our products, we’re proving our commitment to doing what’s right by our consumers.”

Mindy is Head of Nutrition at Fonterra. She holds a BSc (Hons) Nutrition and Dietetics from King's College, London.

Can you guess what food starts us off in life, keeps us going until we can fend for ourselves and is critical for growing vital body parts?

Kiwi sports scientist Dr. Richard Swinbourne (Ricco) says diet plays a huge part in our sleep patterns.

Soggy chips, limp salad or fully melted ice-cream, none of these sound particularly appealing but why not? The food is in essence the same – a limp Caesar salad contains the same ingredients as a crisp one and liquid ice cream has the same taste as its frozen self. The difference is texture, or the “mouth feel” of food.
