CALLING
Tim's Dairy was originally started by
Euripides Nicolaou who was joined by
Michael Timotheou, whose four sons -
Chris, Peter, Bides and Tony - continue
to run the business today. Founded in
a Warren Street basement workroom in
1949 the yogurts were first delivered on
a bicycle with a basket. This year saw
the launch of the London Collection to
celebrate the company's 70th year as a
family-run business. The range is inspired
by this heritage and the exotic flavours
and spices first shipped into the London
docks from around the world. The Mango
& Turmeric flavour is Greet-style bio-live,
lactose free and made with pure natural
ingredients. The tropical fruit flavour lends
it a gentle sweetness with the merest
hint of spice from the turmeric. Suitable
for vegetarians, gluten free and free from
artificial colours and flavours, it's made
with fresh pasteurised British cow's milk
and cream with 11g carbohydrate per
100g serving, or 16g per 150g pot.
