Our Dairy Free 120mlโs are now back in stock and available to our wholesale customers after managing to have enough of a little break from producing dairy over the last few months in order to get them done without any cross contamination risks. Theyโre available in Vanilla & Chocolate SOYA milk and Strawberry Oat milk. โข Look out for them in your local convenience stores around the island over the summer and remember all the info is on the bottom of the tub ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ฆ

Theres 300 litres of Aalin Dairy and 600 litres of Isle of Man Creamery deliciously fresh double cream going into making our everyday base mix and also our Salted Caramel base mix which we put under a different 8-12 hour process to make ๐๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฒ
Little Elijah bean definitely hard at work earning his ยฃ2 today, and donโt worry he got all of the legal requirements for breaks that a 4 year old should get ๐, the joys of being brought up like myself in the family business . ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ฆ
Pasteurisation and cooling
So todayโs little behind the scenes insight is pasteurisation which is probably the most important part of our production process and is our first CCP (critical control point) we must hit in order to make sure that all of our products start of as safe as possible and stay that way throughout the whole process, right up until the point that you dig into your favourite flavour . So for those that donโt know Pasteurisation involves heating an item up to a certain temperature, for a certain period of time to kill any little nasties (bacteria) that might be present in any of the raw ingredients we use.
We have 4 thermally insulated batch pasteurisation tanks in total, 2 x 300ltrs & 2 x 1200ltrs, the video shows our 1200 ltrs ones as thatโs what Iโm using today. All of the tanks agitate/ blend all of the raw ingredients together that are added to them, by hand, while slowly heating the contents up to the required temperature where they are then left for the required time.
Once the correct temp and time has been achieved the mix is safe and free from any little nasties that might have been in there. The mix then travels through the stainless steel pipes through a 1mm micro filter to remove any unwanted particles that might be in the mix and cause a choking hazard, then through an homogeniser which pressurises the mix up to 2,300 psi while passing it through small platelets. This process breaks down the fat particles in the double cream, butter and milk we use and blends them together with the rest of the ingredients to stop them from separating in the maturation tanks, bit like if you tip vegetable oil into water.
After being homogenised we pass the mix through a plate cooler which rapidly chills the mix from above 75 degrees C to 0.7 degrees C in 3 seconds, yes you read that correctly 3 seconds. This rapid chill stops bacteria again being able to grow once in the holding/ maturation tanks.
Once chilled the fresh mix, which we also use for our Whippyโs, is the
