no gluten here!
Gluten free options for coeliacs (and anyone else)
Gluten free ice cream is no longer exclusive to people with coeliac disease. There are many reasons why people may wish to avoid gluten in their diets, such as gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy or personal preference, often driven by the perceived health benefits. Most of our scooping recipes do not include cereals containing gluten. However, due to the cross-contamination risk we indicate that these ‘may contain’ gluten. Our 120ml and 500ml gluten-free recipes are independently tested and verified on every production run to validate each product’s ‘free-from’ status. Which provides peace of mind to ice cream lovers no matter what their individual dietary needs are. We have never sent a sample for testing that did not pass with flying colours, that shows the effectiveness of our cleaning regime and quality control.
We also have gluten free cones and an ever-expanding range of gluten free desserts that not only taste good and are gluten-free, they are also a great choice for restaurant menus.
go dairy-free
Plant-based options for vegans, your health & environment
Seeking out a plant-based ice cream alternative? If you have dairy intolerances or a plant-based diet, we have an ice cream that’s perfect for you.
Plant-based ice cream is good for health too (sort of). With lots of reports that having a plant-based diet can actually reduce blood pressure and even lower the chances of getting type 2 diabetes. Want to know more on the benefits of a plant-based diet have a look here. Not only is a vegan lifestyle great for health, but our planet will be happy too. Did you know? Plant-based foods are much lower in impact than our traditional dairy range. Using less water, less energy and less land to produce.
Our ice creams are made with coconut oil, and this makes sure that the texture, flavour and quality is still at the same standard as it would be if it was made with dairy. We also have every plant-based ice cream independently tested to make sure there is no trace of dairy that has crept in.
