Doggy Doggy Yum Yum launches new recipe and manufacturing plant
Baboo Gelato was started by husband and wife team, Sam and Annie Hanbury after they moved to Dorset in 2012 and purchased a house with a garden and orchard
Doggy Doggy Yum Yum has announced the launch of a new frozen treat by artisan ice cream company, Baboo Gelato and manufactured in-house in its new purpose-built premises at the company’s Dorset base.
The new ice cream is made with 100% peanut butter (with no xylitol), bananas and uses coconut milk instead of dairy.
The new recipe also includes organic agave syrup (rather than refined sugars), Keepers Mix® Sensitive (0.25%) from herbal pet supplement company Dorwest and vegetable fibre.
The Bamboo Gelato contains no artificial flavourings, colours or refined sugars. The new ingredient change means that any ‘ultra processed food’ emulsifiers or stabilisers from the product have been removed.
Baboo Gelato was started by husband and wife team, Sam and Annie Hanbury after they moved to Dorset in 2012 and purchased a house with a garden and orchard.
Inspired by their fruit, Annie went to Bologna to train as a professional gelatiere, before setting up a small artisanal manufacturing kitchen. They opened their first kiosk in West Bay Dorset.
Soon local restaurants and pubs wanted their product; other kiosks wanted to rebrand to carry Baboo Gelato and shops wanted them to make ice cream in tubs. The duo have now added kiosks in Lyme Regis, Weymouth and Swanage.
Doggy Doggy Yum Yum is a Silver winner in the PetQuip Awards and is stocked by a long list of dog friendly cafes, restaurants, hotels, tourist attractions and pubs as well as “leading” pet shops across the UK.
Sam Hanbury said: “Much of our sales come from our kiosks which help us to know exactly what customers want. This is how Doggy Doggy Yum Yum came about. We found that people were buying ice cream for their dogs, and we were concerned that dogs are lactose intolerant. We experimented with different ingredients, before creating an entirely lactose-free, emulsifier-free, stabiliser-free product.
“We are finding limitless demand during the summer not just from obvious pet retailers and specialist dog friendly places, but from ordinary cafés, pubs, restaurants, and tourist destinations. It just seems that most savvy people involved in Food & Drink want some of the poochie pound and we can help with a classy product, well supported with point of sale which includes, stickers, leaflets, posters and an A-frame sign which comes complete with space to put a dog bowl underneath it.”
