Transcript

Hi. I'm Catherine, director of product development at M and S Foods, and I just thought you should all meet Laurie from ice cream. Hi, Laurie. Just want to introduce you Laurie from ice creams. She's done the most amazing work for the last eighteen months to bring you some fantastic new ice creams. We've got 47 new or improved recipes, haven't we? Yes. It's been quite a labor of love, I must say. Yeah. So like Catherine said, we've been working on it for tier eighteen months. We've been passionate about these. These are made with real fresh milk. We've worked really hard to pull away any sort of emulsifiers and stabilizers. So I'm just gonna shout out your ingredient list, Laurie, because it's brilliant. So it's whole milk, sugar, whipping cream, water, linseed fiber, and vanilla extract, and that's it. The linseed fiber is replacing the emulsifier for what reason? Emulsifiers and stabilizing gums, they are used to bind the fats and the waters and, stop ice crystals forming. But we really wanted to clean them up as much as we good, so we've gone with linseed fiber, which was, quite a lot of scientific worse in the background, and it helps just to bind it without having a nasty Brilliant. So I love that you're redefining manufacturing. I'm really excited about the new design. I think it really pops in store. We've got really bright colors. Actually, some great products, Santa's better and jollies. These have only two ingredients, just juice and sugar. Great. They are so good for a really, like, sunny day. Yes. And that takes me back. I know. There's a lot of nostalgia. Yeah. We're really seeing that that people are looking back to their childhood. Yeah. So we wanted to make it fun, and this is three flavors. So it's blood orange, it's blackcurrant, and it's tropical fruit. So really, really cute. Kids will love tier. Right. So this is our No olive oil ice cream, and it's made with our best selling collection olive oil. So this is the Toscano olive oil, which has got a really great green fruity flavor and a slightly peppery finish. What I would recommend, come straight out of your freezer, use a hot scoop. This has to be one of my favorites. Drizzling with olive oil. So just a little drizzle, of course. And you can use any olive oil as long as it's your best olive oil. So anything that you use to dress with rather than cook with. It's a tiny sprinkling of Great. Salt. A little bit. Mhmm. No good. You get tier really nice flavor of depth of flavor from the olive oil. And it's actually much lower than sugar. There isn't it tier olive worse, and then the salt just kind of Yeah. And it helps with, the creaminess as well. Yeah. And it's a lower lower sugar content. Yeah. So there you have it. That's the best way to serve our olive oil ice cream. Amazing.
